Helping South Carolina Families Access the Support They Need

The Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP), formerly known as the Food Stamp Program, serves as the foundation of America's national nutrition safety net by working to end hunger and improve the health of low-income households. SNAP helps eligible households buy the food they need for a nutritionally adequate diet. In South Carolina, many households depend on SNAP each month to get the food they need to ensure good health. Families, people living alone, people living with roommates, and/or people who are homeless may be eligible for SNAP.
What can SNAP do for your household?

For children: a better diet means better learning in school.

For adults: it means better performance on the job or a better foundation for developing the job skills that can give them and their families self-sufficiency.

For seniors: it means access to a balanced diet vital to their nutritional well-being.

For everyone, participation in the SNAP can help stretch limited budgets, improve nutrition, and reduce the risk of diet-related health problems.
