🌼🌿 National Garden Week Proclamation 🌿🌼

The Town of Hampton Mayor and Town Council are proud to recognize June 7–13, 2026, as National Garden Week.

We would like to extend our sincere appreciation to the members of the Seed and W**d Garden Club of Hampton for their dedication to making our community a more beautiful place to live, work, and visit.

From maintaining the Memorial Garden at the end of Lee Avenue—keeping it fresh, colorful, and festive throughout the year—to supporting numerous other beautification and service projects throughout our community, the Seed and W**d Garden Club continually demonstrates its commitment to Hampton.

Their hard work, creativity, and volunteer spirit help preserve the charm and beauty of our town and make Hampton a place we are all proud to call home.

🚨 SCAM ALERT 🚨

The Town of Hampton and Hampton Police Department want to remind residents to be vigilant about scam calls and text messages claiming to be from Medicare.

Scammers may contact you by phone, text, or email and claim that your Medicare benefits are changing, that you need a new Medicare card, or that you must verify personal information to keep your coverage active. Their goal is to obtain sensitive information such as your Medicare number, Social Security number, banking information, or other personal details.

⚠️ Remember:
• Medicare will not call or text you unexpectedly to ask for personal or financial information and they will not call you to schedule and in home visit.
• Do not provide your Medicare number, Social Security number, bank account information, or credit card information to anyone who contacts you unexpectedly.
• Do not provide your home address.
Do not click on links in suspicious text messages.
• Hang up immediately if a caller pressures you to act quickly or threatens loss of benefits.
• Verify any Medicare-related information through official channels before responding.

If you believe you have been targeted by a scam or have provided personal information to a suspicious caller, contact the Hampton Police Department (803-943-2421 or 803-943-9261) and report the incident immediately.

Please share this information with family members, friends, and neighbors—especially senior citizens who are often targeted by these scams.

Stay alert. Stay informed. Stay safe.

The Town of Hampton is pleased to announce that Lightsey Park has reopened to the public.

While the park is now open, crews are still working to complete cleanup efforts in several areas. We ask all visitors to use caution while enjoying the park and to be aware that some exposed roots and other remnants of recent work may still be present.
