  Grocery Delivery

  Our Fresh Food Box is available at a cost which allows anyone to buy a box. Each box contains fresh produce and unique recipes, tips and nutrition notes. 

  Fresh Food Boxes are filled with 9 to 11 varieties of fresh fruits and vegetables. With the contents changing weekly, it’s an affordable and exciting way to eat healthy food. Bulk buying at wholesale prices makes our boxes more affordable than buying produce at retail stores.

  Our NeighborShare program is a community initiative that aims to ensure access to fresh, affordable food. The program serves individuals who need assistance ordering their Fresh Food Boxes or having boxes delivered to them by volunteers. 

  Hours of Operation

  Open Monday-Thursday from 9:00 AM-5:00 PM and Friday 9:00 AM-2:00 PM, except holidays.

  Volunteer

  There are many ways to get involved with FoodShare by giving of your time, energy and talents. Helping pack boxes, delivering food boxes to those without transportation, and coordinating ordering and pick-up sites all help us grow the program to meet the needs of our community.

  Fresh Food Box Packing: FoodShare’s Fresh Food Box program helps hundreds of families every month gain access to healthy fruits and vegetables that they may otherwise not have available to them. Boxes are packed every other Tuesday. We typically start at 9:00 a.m. and will finish up before lunch. Volunteer Sign-Up available at this link.

  Fresh Food Box Delivery: We know that transportation can be a major barrier for some people in accessing good healthy food. The NeighborShare program involves being partnered with someone in your community to help them in placing their order and/or delivering their Fresh Food Box to them on pick-up days.

  Fresh Food Box Distribution: With requests for Fresh Food Boxes increasing weekly, having volunteers that will serve as official Pick-Up Sites is crucial for expanding access to our program! Pick-Up Sites can be businesses, clinics, or other organizations. As a Pick-Up Site, you would be responsible for collecting orders and payment, picking up ordered boxes on pick-up days from the FoodShare SC Food Hub in Columbia and bringing them back to their location for participants to pick up.
