FOOD SHARE'S MISSION:

Many communities in South Carolina do not have access or financial resources to eat healthy on a daily basis. Barriers include where people live, age, income, and whether reliable transportation exists. Without healthy options, health risks increase. Bringing fresh produce into our communities is a form of food equity and is part of our mission. FoodShare's goal is to enhance the quality of life in our diverse communities by increasing access to fresh, affordable produce and providing quality cooking skills education. We connect families and communities to fresh fruits and vegetables through the use of our Fresh Food Box. 

 

WHAT'S IN A BOX?

The Fresh Food Box is filled with 9-11 varieties of top quality fruits and vegetables. Unique recipes, tips and nutrition notes are included to give you the encouragement to expand your knowledge, cook new things and eat healthier. 

 

HOW MUCH IS IT?

There are three box options to fit the needs of your household. 

1. The large box (18-22 pounds) is $25 if you pay with cash.

2. The small box (15-18 pounds) is $20 if you pay with cash. 

3. Our "No Cook" box (10-14 pounds) is $15 cash and contains only produce which can be consumed without any cooking or other preparation. 

 

If you are a SNAP participant and use your EBT SNAP card to purchase your box, you receive an instant $15 “Healthy Bucks” savings. 

• Small box: You only pay $5 on SNAP. 

• Large box: You only pay $10 on SNAP.

• No Cook box: You pay $15 on SNAP. 

 

Orders must be in and paid for at the library every other Thursday by noon.  Food boxes will be delivered to the library the following Tuesday and will be available for pickup from 12:00 to 6:00.
