Ace basin growers operates a food box program called foodshare orangeburg which provides a box of fresh fruit and vegetables to the public every two weeks with a focus on SNAP/EBT audiences. We accept healthy bucks coupons from the state of south carolina which subsidies $10 for every $5 spent on ebt.

02

During the pandemic, there was a demand for fresh produce box giveaways. We applied for grants that helped us supply fresh produce boxex to the public. Through these grants we spent money on food, boxes and labor to distribute the boxes around three counties in south carolina: orangeburg, bamberg and calhoun.

03

These expenses are related to puchases directly from farmers. We normally utilize a wholesale distributor to purchase produce, but part off our mission is to procure local food from farmers to help them and the local economy.

Names, privacy, and removal requests More

The names, titles, and compensation shown on this page are reproduced from IRS Form 990 filings, which are public records.

Philanthropy.org does not alter the content of those filings. All information appears exactly as reported by the filing organization for the tax year shown.

We publish only information contained in the public IRS filing — and less than the filing contains. Our profile pages do not display street addresses, telephone numbers, personal email addresses, or other personal contact information, even where the filing includes them.

Many people share the same name. A name shown on this page reflects only what one organization reported in one IRS filing for one tax year. It should not be interpreted as identifying any other individual with the same or a similar name.

If you are no longer affiliated with the organization, your name will generally stop appearing in future IRS filings once the organization no longer reports you. Pages for tax years in which you were reported remain published because those filings remain part of the public record.

Philanthropy.org does not alter or remove IRS filing records. Removing a page from this website would not remove the underlying IRS filing, which remains publicly available from the IRS and other publishers of the same information.

If you believe the IRS filing itself is inaccurate, corrections must be made by the filing organization or the IRS directly.
