2014
SC Thrive is born!
We started as “The Benefit Bank of South Carolina”, a program of the South Carolina Office of Rural Health. In just a few short years, we had outgrown our space, evolved our mission, and ventured out as our own organization. In January 2014, SC Thrive was born.
2009
Collaborative program with community leaders launches.
The BlueCross BlueShield Foundation of South Carolina, Palmetto Institute and The Duke Endowment provided the initial funding and launched a collaborative program with community leaders, state agencies, and organizations to make access to assistance easier.
2008
We started by answering a simple question…
Why were families in South Carolina struggling with food insecurity, healthcare issues, and basic needs despite millions of state and federal dollars available for assistance? Because the process was confusing, time-consuming, and complicated. That had to change. And it did.
