Program Highlight: School Food Centers
Lowcountry Food Bank works with more than 60 school sites across our service area to provide food access to students and their families. Operating as food pantries, our 16 School Markets offer a choice-based shopping experience within the school, providing fresh, frozen, and shelf-stable food. Our School Pantry boxes include shelf-stable food items that are distributed monthly to school families. Our BackPack Buddies packs are distributed to children and include kid-friendly, easy to open food items for weekends and school holidays. The School Food Centers build upon our extensive partner agency network of community food pantries, ensuring that we can meet children and families where they are already gathering.
By The Numbers
With help from our staff, board, donors, volunteers and partner agencies, we’re able to make a lasting impact on the lives of children, adults, veterans, and seniors who experience food insecurity across the 10 coastal counties of South Carolina.
Our impact is demonstrated by our results and the lives we touch. We invite you to learn more about our work, our team and how we accomplish our mission.
