Charleston Metro Chamber Of Commerce: Lowcountry Food Bank's Walk To Fight Hunger Aims To Raise Funds To Help Food Insecure

Press release from the Charleston Metro Chamber of Commerce:

September 10, 2021

September 1, 2021 — The Lowcountry Food Bank is holding a “hybrid” walk event that aims to bring awareness to hunger issues in coastal South Carolina and raise funds for Lowcountry Food Bank programs, including Senior Meals, Childhood Hunger programs, and fresh produce options for the community.

The Lowcountry Food Bank Walk to Fight Hunger, presented by Charles River, will take place on Sunday, September 19 from Noon – 4:00 p.m. at Riverfront Park in North Charleston.

Because of the recent increase in Covid-19 cases, the Walk to Fight Hunger will be a “hybrid” walk event. Donors and friends are encouraged to drop-in to the park and participate in a self-guided walking tour at their own pace and comfort level. Guests will receive an informational packet to accompany their self-guided tour.

In addition, Lowcountry Food Bank will also host a “drive-thru” food drive at the event. Participants are encouraged to bring non-perishable canned proteins, canned fruits and canned vegetables (low-sodium, low-sugar). Canned items can be safely donated from their vehicle. Baby diapers, baby wipes, and adult diapers are also needed.
