June 19, 2023 – Summertime is here and South Carolina families who receive SNAP benefits can enjoy some of the state’s best-known museums and attractions through a new program the South Carolina Department of Social Services calls EBT Perks.

“We are so grateful to all the organizations who are demonstrating support for the families we serve by generously providing discounts and incentives for some truly awesome educational and recreational experiences. We look forward to adding many more EBT Perks partners to the list!” said, Ereka Jamison, Food and Nutrition Program Manager for DSS.
