    South Carolina Food Security Council Report
    (2024-01-31) South Carolina Food Security Council
    The South Carolina Food Security Council (FSC), through proviso 34.70 of the 2023-2024 Appropriations Act, has examined the state of current services provided to South Carolinians of all ages and has developed recommendations for service improvements for the South Carolina General Assembly’s consideration. These enhancements aim to provide expanded opportunities for South Carolinians from infancy to senior populations to achieve food and nutrition security and, in turn, achieve healthier life outcomes. Throughout the development process, the FSC received input from state agencies represented on the Council and other stakeholders with a vested interest in improving food and nutrition security in the state.
