Lowcountry Food Bank’s 4th Annual Walk to Fight Hunger took place on Sunday, September 22nd! The Walk is a family-friendly event that aims to bring awareness to hunger issues in coastal South Carolina and raises funds for Lowcountry Food Bank programs, including Senior Meals, Childhood Hunger programs, and fresh produce options for the community.

 

The Walk was presented by Parker’s Kitchen and was held at Wannamaker Park in North Charleston. Individuals, companies, civic groups, schools, and churches were encouraged to put together fundraising walk teams and celebrate with the community at the event.

 

All funds raised at the Walk to Fight Hunger support Lowcountry Food Bank’s mission, which is focused on uniting our community in pursuit of equitable, dignified, and consistent access to food throughout the 10 coastal counties of South Carolina.

Guests enjoyed a 5k walk, a 1-mile fun-loop walk, a scavenger hunt, music, and more!
