South Carolina ETV and Public Radio (SCETV) will livestream a press conference with Gov. Henry McMaster, community and state agency leaders on Oct. 28, at 10:30 a.m. from the South Carolina Emergency Operations Center in West Columbia. The event will announce that the Central Carolina Community Foundation has activated the One SC Fund in response to the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s decision to halt federal funding for the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) effective Nov. 1.
Activation of the One SC Fund will enable a coordinated statewide charitable giving campaign dedicated to providing direct monetary assistance to regional food banks and local feeding partners. The fund, originally established to support South Carolinians in times of crisis, will now mobilize resources to address increased food insecurity resulting from the loss of federal benefits.
During the press conference, Gov. Henry McMaster will be joined by community and state agency leaders to discuss the state’s response and encourage contributions to the One SC Fund.
The press conference will livestream on the SCETV website, the SCETV News YouTube channel and the SCETV Facebook page.
