Repairing the World
Our Zucker Family Production Kitchen is a full-scale, commercial kitchen that serves as the epicenter for the preparation and distribution of meals to fight hunger in our community.
Food Works
The Food Works Program is a work based learning program for area high school students. It provides hands-on culinary training and life skills to prepare students for employment. Lowcountry Food Bank partners with Charleston County School District to recruit students for the program. Upon completion of 120 hours of training in the Zucker Family Production Kitchen, students also receive work-based learning credits towards graduation. Food Works students help produce meals for Kids Cafe sites and seniors.
Kids Café
At Lowcountry Food Bank, we create and distribute Kids Café meals to food-insecure children. It is one of the largest charitable meal service programs in the country, providing free meals and nutrition education to children in our community. Thanks to partnerships with schools, community centers and other agency partners, Kids Café is feeding more children than ever before.
Senior Meals
We produce healthy and nutritious meals for seniors who experience hunger. Many seniors who have worked their entire lives are now faced with hardships and difficult choices. Some seniors suffer from serious health problems, others are no longer able to drive, and some live on fixed incomes that further stretch their dollars. We work with partner agencies to distribute meals to our senior clients.
