News Summary

Greenville recently hosted the Brunch for a Cause event, successfully raising $50,000 for disaster relief efforts, focusing on flood victims in Texas. Since its inception in 2004, this beloved event has showcased local culinary talent while supporting various charitable causes. Additionally, a new mixed-use community, Anderson Lake, is set to be developed in Anderson County, bringing 1,000 homes and various amenities to the area, including job opportunities and medical facilities. Excitement grows as the city witnesses these positive changes.

South Carolina—A recent fundraiser, Brunch for a Cause, achieved significant success by raising $50,000 for disaster relief efforts on July 12. Organized by Table 301 Hospitality, the proceeds from this year’s event will directly aid individuals affected by the catastrophic floods in Texas. The annual brunch, which began in 2004 following Hurricane Katrina, continues its long-standing tradition of supporting communities in crisis, having previously helped victims of Hurricane Helene in 2024.

This year’s event showcased the culinary talent of several local restaurants. All establishments under the Table 301 umbrella participated, alongside key independent restaurants such as Soby’s New South Cuisine, Nose Dive, The Lazy Goat, The Jones Oyster Co., Tavola Italian, Lefty’s West End Tavern, CAMP Modern American Eatery, and Passerelle Bistro. The brunch not only provided a platform for food lovers to indulge in local cuisine but also emphasized the importance of community during times of disaster.

In addition to the fundraising event, Anderson County is looking towards future development with the planning of a new mixed-use community at Anderson Lake. This prospective community will encompass approximately 1,250 acres of land and is strategically located south of Interstate 85 and east of S.C. Highway 81, enveloping the 150-acre Anderson Reservoir. Developed by Dunean Capital Management, the project aims to feature about 1,000 new homes, with two-thirds intended for residents aged 55 and older.

Moreover, the development will include plans for industrial projects, which will consist of warehouses, medical facilities, schools, churches, as well as commercial enterprises like retail and grocery stores. The site is positioned roughly 20 miles from downtown Greenville and less than 10 miles from downtown Anderson, making it an attractive location for those seeking both community living and accessibility to urban amenities.

As part of this development, the project leader highlighted the vision for Anderson Lake as deserving “more than just progress; it deserves purpose.” This reflects a broader commitment to creating communities that are not only functional but also meaningful for their residents.

The Brunch for a Cause event emphasizes the collective effort of local businesses to contribute positively to the community, while the planned development at Anderson Lake points toward future growth and economic stability in the region. Together, these initiatives underscore the resilience and unity of Anderson County in addressing both immediate needs and long-term aspirations.
