With SNAP food assistance set to pause on November 1, nearly 10,000 people in Pickens County will be affected — and 70% of those are children or older adults.
This pause puts many vulnerable people at risk of food insecurity.
Our community is strongest when we support one another. If you or someone you know is struggling, United Way’s 211 is here to help — anytime, day or night.
Free File volunteers are invited to drop in to meet your Site Coordinator, and pick up your volunteer t-shirt and name badge.
