Event Details FOOD ACCESS MAP The College of Behavioral, Social and Health Sciences created a Food Access Map as part of its efforts to aid Upstate residents facing food insecurity during the COVID-19 pandemic. The map includes nearly 400 providers across 10 counties complete with information on the type of assistance they provide as well as operating hours and availability. The college’s Land-Grant Local initiative worked with the United Way of Pickens County, the nonprofit organization Ten at the Top, and Clemson’s Joseph F. Sullivan Center interdisciplinary health center on the project, which provides information on different food resources across the Upstate. Currently, the map is being updated to include partners and agencies across the 46 counties in South Carolina through a grant with SCDHEC.
