Your compassion and action matter now more than ever.

Over 556,000 South Carolinians rely on SNAP to keep food on the table. The longer the government shutdown, the greater risks to families across South Carolina, including those with children, seniors, veterans and people with disabilities.

FoodShare South Carolina's primary program, the Fresh Food Box, allows individuals and families to access Fresh fruits and vegetables at a greatly reduced cost, thanks to the combination of SNAP benefits and South Carolina's Healthy Bucks fund. When families lose their SNAP, the low-cost of the Fresh Food Box is no longer available to them.

Every $15 donation received will allow a household to continue to access the Fresh Food Box for only $5 cash if their SNAP benefits are no longer available to them. For $5, households will be able to access a 20-pound box of fresh fruits and vegetables that would cost many times that in the grocery store.

By donating today, you are not only helping vulnerable South Carolinians—you are investing in the health and stability of our entire state. With every dollar, we help maintain food-security, keep dollars circulating in local stores and farms, and reduce the burdens on health and social services.

Your compassion and action matter now more than ever. Together, we can ensure that the safety net remains intact for individuals and families in South Carolina who count on it. We believe in a community where no one goes hungry simply because of bureaucracy, policy change, or circumstance. With your help, we can make that belief real.
