COLUMBIA (WACH) -- A mother of two has not been seen since the weekend before Christmas.

Richland County Sheriff Leon Lott is requesting the community's assistance in locating Kimberly Parrish, 40, of Columbia.

Parrish was last seen on Friday, December 21, at Helping Hands Caregivers on Two Notch Road, according to Lott. Parrish has not been seen since she went to pick up her pay check from her employer between 10 a.m. and 11 a.m. Friday, according to Lott.

Parrish has two young children whom she hasn't had contact with in the last two days, which is out of character for her, according to Lott.

Parrish was last seen driving an olive green 1999 Chevy Malibu, similar to the one pictured, with South Carolina tag HVT-700, according to Lott.

The Sheriff's Dept. has no leads that indicate foul play, but investigators are concerned for her safety, according to Lott.

Parrish is described as a white female, 5'3" tall, 175 lbs., with brown hair and brown eyes.

Anyone with information about Parrish is asked to call CrimeStoppers at 1-888-CRIME-SC or Richland County Sheriff's Dept. at 803-576-3000.
