Welcome! Thank you for your interest in the Lowcountry Food Bank's 4th annual Student Food Drive! Beginning October 1, tri-county high school students will embark on a month-long hunger relief campaign! The high school that collects the most food will win a cash prize and bragging rights! With the help of a faculty advisor, students plan events to promote the drive, organize their food collection, and package and deliver food to the food bank. Check out these documents to answer any questions you may have: Loading Day Guidelines, Event Ideas,Advisor Guidelines

NEW to Student Food Drive 2012 is the BADGE System, which gives your school the opportunity to win "Partici-Pounds" by collecting different Student Food Drive Badges. Similar to the Boys and Girl Scouts of America, each badge is associated with an action, project or challenge. Please visit www.youngfreesc.com/food to find out what badges are available, and the badge guidelines for submission! The goal is to earn as many badges as possible -- the more badges you earn, the more partici-pounds are added to your collected food total! 

ALSO NEW this year is a partnership with YouGiveGoods! YouGive Goods enables you to purchase food online, which makes it easy for your family and friends (especially those that do not live nearby) to donate to your cause! Better yet - you purchase food online, and YouGiveGoods will deliver it to the Lowcountry Food Bank! All participating schools have a food drive page set up on the YouGiveGoods website - click here to search for your school's food drive page!

LAST YEAR students raised 29,266 pounds of food for our community!
