Our Vision

A Greenville County where everyone has the opportunity to live healthy, active lives and build stronger, more connected communities.

Our Mission

To increase access to healthy foods and active living opportunities by convening community members and partners to impact policies, systems, and environmental changes.

That mission comes to life through the work of our three Coalitions—focused on Food Security, Active Living, and Community Engagement. Each Coalition brings together members who are deeply connected to the community and best positioned to identify needs, share solutions, and lead change.

A note about the coalition model

We know coalitions sometimes get a bad rap—too many meetings, not enough action. But at their best, coalitions are collaborative networks: people and partners coming together to solve complex challenges that no single organization can tackle alone.

That’s the kind of coalition LiveWell Greenville was built to be. We align efforts, share resources, and foster real, lasting change—across sectors, communities, and systems.

Here’s what makes our approach effective:

Connected Coordination

We break down silos. LiveWell creates space for organizations to share best practices and align efforts. The result? Fewer gaps, less duplication, and stronger, more efficient systems.

Collective Investment

We don’t hoard resources. Instead, we write collaborative grants and pass through funding to community partners who are best positioned to lead the work. When one of us is lifted, the whole community benefits.

Community Voice

We listen with intention. Community members aren’t just part of the conversation—they help drive it. Their lived experience shapes our priorities and decisions. When we set the table, there’s a seat for everyone.

Embedded Evaluation

We build in evaluation from the start. Research, measurement, and accountability are not afterthoughts—they’re part of our DNA. With support from our university partners led by Furman University, we ensure every step is grounded in evidence and leads to lasting impact.
