Camp McCrady to Receive $37,000 Renovation

Armed Forces Families Foundation/Taco Bell have provided funding for the Clinic

COLUMBIA, SC – Military service members and their families will have the chance to finally get some R&R at the USO Center’s newly renovated entertainment and recreation area at the Camp McCrady Training Center. The Armed Forces Families Foundation has donated $37,000 to the center to make troops feel more at home during pre-deployment training. Funds for the donation were raised in local Taco Bell restaurants during their annual fundraiser in an effort to help serve those who serve us.

To initiate the new items and show appreciation for those involved, a ribbon cutting ceremony will be held on Friday, September 13 at 11:00 am at The USO Center’s entertainment area located at Camp McCrady Training Center. Taco Bell will be on-site providing food for all attendees at this worthy event.

Camp McCrady is a permanent home for the National Guard and provides training for members of the Army, Marines, and Navy. The USO Center located on-site has more than 2,500 visitors each month that use the facility to connect with loved ones and relax after a long day of training. Renovations to the entertainment area include new recliner chairs, built-in risers for theater seating, carpet flooring, a 60” television, a multi-game table and chairs, two basketball goals, and a pool table.

Both the Armed Forces Families Foundation and Taco Bell are proud to support the new efforts to improve The USO Center’s entertainment area at Camp McCrady. “Our troops’ loved ones are their first line of support. Taco Bell is proud to support our troops by supporting their families,” said Thaddeus Foster, Chief Operations Officer and franchisee for Southeast QSR Inc.
