“Underground Kitchen has held dining events in South Carolina previously, so we were familiar with the area and immediately felt a connection to the people and places we visited.

“It’s a privilege for the Drive to partner with FoodShare South Carolina and the Underground Kitchen to host this UGK Community First Project event at Fluor Field,” says Craig Brown, Greenville Drive owner and team president. “COVID-19 has impacted nearly every aspect of everyday life, none more so than healthy food access to those who need it most. We always try and position Fluor Field as the ‘front porch’ of the community, and there’s no better example of this positioning than utilizing the ballpark to provide comfort and security to families all across our community who have been impacted the most by COVID-19,” he adds.
