Produce Initiatives

Fresh For All Produce Distributions

A Fresh For All is a client choice, farmers’ market-style, mobile produce distribution. All that is needed to host a mobile distribution is pavement and we are able to go to rural areas that are typically difficult to reach. These distributions are client choice, allowing people to choose the foods they want to take home to their families.  It reduces the chance of wasted food and provides more dignity for the people we serve.

Growing Food Locally

Through the Growing Food Locally program, the Lowcountry Food Bank invests in small-enterprise local farms and sources surplus produce to distribute to food insecure children, families and seniors. By working with local farmers to procure fresh vegetables, the Lowcountry Food Bank is able to keep donor dollars in the local food economy and provide the most nutritious produce possible. This method contributes to the financial stability of local farms by covering the production cost of crops that farmers are unable to sell at market.
