As winter storms persist in Upstate South Carolina, many families are being pushed past the edge. For neighbors relying on SNAP benefits, there is no buffer. No extra. No “just in case.”

They already live week to week.

Storm prep means stretching limited dollars even further—choosing between bread and batteries, milk and medicine, heat and food. Every emergency purchase comes out of the same fixed amount meant to last all month.

And hunger doesn’t pause for weather.

A storm doesn’t create this crisis—it exposes it.

Because real food matters when shelves are bare, benefits are stretched, and families are bracing for what’s coming.

Act now.
Buy a meal.
Feed a family.

Giving season is over. Hunger isn't.
