Food Pantry

UCMAC’s Food Pantry program is a community-driven resource that provides free, nutritious food to qualified residents of Abbeville County through three pantry locations. We partner with Second Harvest Food Bank of Metrolina to help individuals and families experiencing food insecurity access essential groceries and support.
