Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program Education (SNAP-Ed)
In partnership with the Department of Social Services, Lowcountry Food Bank is the SNAP-Ed Implementing Agency for coastal South Carolina. SNAP-Ed supports SNAP’s role in addressing food insecurity. It is central to SNAP’s efforts to improve nutrition and prevent or reduce diet-related chronic disease and obesity among SNAP recipients. SNAP-Ed’s goal is to improve the likelihood that persons who are eligible for SNAP will make healthy food choices on a limited budget and choose physically active lifestyles consistent with the current Dietary Guidelines for Americans.
Women, Infants and Children (WIC) Nutrition Program
The Women, Infants, and Children (WIC) Nutrition Program provides health education, healthy foods, breastfeeding support, and other services at no cost to South Carolina families who qualify. If you are a father, mother, grandparent, foster parent, or other legal guardian of a child under 5, you can apply for WIC for your child. Pregnant or breastfeeding moms are also eligible. If you currently receive Medicaid, TANF, or SNAP, you already meet the income eligibility requirement.
