Non-profit gets meals to children on weekends
Shallotte,NC(WECT)- A non-profit called Wings Ministry has started a new program to make sure children are getting enough to eat on the weekends.

The schools in the program now are Waccamaw School, Union Elementary, Supply Elementary, Virginia Williamson Elementary, Cedar Grove Middle, Shallotte Middle and For Kids Only.
