CHAPIN, S.C. — The Chapin We Care Center has launched a new scholarship program to help teens pay for college, certification, or trade programs.
The Chapin We Care Center is a community interfaith outreach program who serves Chapin and the surrounding area.
The outreach program helps provide food to those in need and also help pay for utilities.
Alecia Klauk, the executive director for the center, says they're excited about a new program they just started for their clients.
