“In lieu of our annual Fall Festival, CSC is excited to host a drive through trick-or-treat at the TB Thomas Center. We have taken precautions to ensure everyone’s safety. The trick-or-treaters will be able to celebrate the holiday early with us in the safe environment of their parent’s automobile. This will be a fun event for all,” CareSouth Carolina Chief of Community Health Joe Bittle said. “We want our communities to know that we are here for them and we are working tirelessly to fight against the COVID-19 pandemic.
