The Healthy Bucks program, administered by the South Carolina Department of Social Services (SCDSS), is designed to support local farmers, and help SNAP recipients access more fresh fruits and vegetables.
Through this initiative, SNAP recipients who use their SNAP benefits to purchase at least $5 worth of fresh produce at approved Healthy Bucks vendor locations receive an additional $15 in Healthy Bucks tokens.
These tokens can then be used to buy more fresh fruits and vegetables, expanding access to nutritious food options. Implemented on June 1, 2014, the program strengthens food security while supporting healthier eating habits across the state. Healthy Bucks is a year-round program; however, some farmers and farmers’ markets are seasonal.
SCDSS continually works to grow the Healthy Bucks program by welcoming new vendors who help bring nutritious food options to communities across South Carolina. Our vendor directory makes it simple for potential partners and SNAP recipients to locate their nearest Healthy Bucks location. Explore the directory to find where you can access the program today.
