What is 5210 South Carolina?
5210 South Carolina is a statewide campaign to create positive health outcomes for the children of South Carolina and those around them. The campaign encourages five fruits and vegetables, less than two hours of recreational screen time, one hour of physical activity and zero sugary drinks each day. The 5210 SC initiative is led by the South Carolina Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program-Education (SNAP-Ed) in partnership with the State Nutrition Action Coalition.
