Welcome! Thank you for your interest in the Lowcountry Food Bank's 2nd annual Student Food Drive! Set to kick off on September 21st, the Student Food Drive is a six-week hunger relief campaign designed to empower high school students. This initiative will engage business and community leaders and regional food banks in acts of volunteerism, food collection, awareness building and fundraising dedicated to fighting hunger in their very own community. 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.
The Student Food Drive develops student leadership through a series of student created and driven events that center around creativity, entertainment, communications, business practices, purchase negotiations, fundraising and social concerns. Students collect food through creative events such as sporting events, dances, silent auctions and more. Furthermore, this will enable the high schools to work closely with their feeder schools to bring in more donations. Students are also encouraged to collect monetary donations to be used to purchase food in large quantities. The Lowcountry Food Bank will be announcing the participating schools in the coming days!
Mark your Calendar! The Lowcountry Food Bank, dedicated sponsors and participating high schools will host a kick-off party on September 21st to launch the Student Food Drive. This energetic event will include a skit competition among students to be judged by the Student Food Drive Gold Can Sponsors, and will be held at the Lowcountry Food Bank. On October 28th and 29th, the schools will schedule a time with the LCFB to unload truckloads of collected food. On the night of November 1st, from 6 pm to 8 pm, an Awards Party will conclude the competition. Student leadership participants, advisors and sponsors will join the LCFB and the final collection totals will be announced along with awards for the winning schools.
Get Involved in your area school's Student Food Drive events! Events will be updated weekly so make sure to check back!
