Agreed! Food insecurity is a real problem that affects people all over the state. Unfortunately, the answer can't simply be "visit a food bank near you". We need to talk about why there are food deserts all over our state. We need to talk about why black and brown families suffer disproportionately from food insecurity. We need to talk about why (in many cases) college students experience food insecurity at levels twice as high as the general population. Then, after we've talked about it, we need to do something about it. Something real and substantive. What we need is justice. Food justice for all!
As we get closer to the holidays, DHEC realizes that food insecurity is a real issue for many families in our state. With the help of Clemson University, we have developed a food bank resource that shows food bank locations throughout the state where food can be received and donated.
