The SC SNAP Education Program (SC SNAP-Ed) provides a combination of nutrition education, health promotion, and policy, system, and environmental support to low-income communities to improve the likelihood that families who are receiving SNAP (food stamp) benefits will make healthier food and physical activity choices.

DSS partners with the following organizations to provide SNAP education services.  If you are interested in learning how to make healthy choices within a limited budget, participate in activities such as cooking demos, market tours, or receive nutrition education support for activities happening in your community, please contact the group responsible for your county.
