Food Security Action Circles
LiveWell’s three Coalitions are divided into smaller Action Circles, comprised of community members deeply committed to their respective subjects, alongside stakeholders, experts, and organizational partners. Among LiveWell’s Coalitions, the Food Security Coalition stands as the most established, with seven Action Circles addressing specific areas of work and convening at different intervals throughout the year.
Strengthen food pantry infrastructure and accessibility across Greenville County.
Coordinate and promote Summer Break Café program in Greenville County so that all children have access to meals throughout the summer months.
Strengthen and expand produce prescription programs and improve systems for food resource navigation in the healthcare sector.
Coordinate weekend food backpack programs across Greenville County Schools to ensure that all children have access to food on the weekends.
Sustain the formula bank as stop gap measure for families with long wait times between birth and WIC enrollment.
Expand affordability and accessibility of healthy foods in smaller retail outlets like corner stores, small grocery stores, dollar stores and farmers markets.
Support community gardens and provide opportunities to learn and connect through quarterly coalition community garden workdays.
