Lowcountry Food Bank Announces 2nd Annual Walk to Fight Hunger

The Walk to Fight Hunger will take place on Sunday, September 18th at Wannamaker Park in North Charleston. Individuals, companies, civic groups, schools, and churches are encouraged to put together fundraising walk teams and celebrate with the community at the event.

“The food insecurity rate remains high at more than 11% in the 10 coastal counties of South Carolina we serve,” said Nick Osborne, Lowcountry Food Bank President & CEO. “This is equivalent to 161,430 of our neighbors, of whom 45,540 are children. Our work to ensure that every neighbor who experiences food insecurity has equitable access to healthy food remains focused and strategic while we navigate economic inflationary issues, higher food and transportation costs, and food procurement challenges. The need is still great to ensure our neighbors who face hunger can live a healthy life. We encourage our community to participate in the Walk this fall and learn a little more about hunger issues at the event.”
