With the recent federal government shutdown, SNAP benefits have been paused as of November 1, leaving many South Carolina families struggling to put food on the table. In our state, 1 in 10 people rely on SNAP—and local food pantries are expecting a significant increase in demand.

To help meet this need, the Pickens County Extension Office will serve as a food donation drop-off site during regular business hours. Other Extension Offices across the state are also serving as drop-off locations. Find the closest office to you: https://www.clemson.edu/extension/co/?fbclid=IwY2xjawN4XiRleHRuA2FlbQIxMABicmlkETFpdTJXWHR0OWlxWkxadGZNc3J0YwZhcHBfaWQQMjIyMDM5MTc4ODIwMDg5MgABHoPZDHhCBvzmO4uaPcBbCs2jDNBfSWXKr82GealaM5CteweUOSZqjMrmH0JT_aem_j8P50mJWh19pEmlClhq0sA

📍 Where: Pickens County Extension Office
🕒 When: Monday–Friday, 8:00 AM - 4:30 PM
🥫 What to Donate: Non-perishable food items (canned goods, peanut butter, pasta, rice, boxed meals, etc.)
Every item you give helps a local family in need. 💜
When our donation box is full, we’ll deliver it to our local food pantry to support community members directly.
Please help us spread the word and make a difference! You can also follow the Clemson Rural Health and Nutrition page for updates:
