Fueled By Fresh Match
Established in 2020 by LCFB Board of Directors member Michael Wilson and his wife Pam Wilson, the Fueled by Fresh matching gift challenge supports Lowcountry Food Bank’s ability to purchase fresh produce for mobile food distributions. On June 1, Lowcountry Food Bank is excited to be joined once again by the Wilsons to implement Fueled by Fresh to provide nutritious produce to Lowcountry families who experience food insecurity.
As the school year comes to a close and summer quickly approaches, children risk losing the nutritious breakfast and lunch meals they receive when school is in session. Many children rely on these meals to meet the nutritional needs their rapidly growing bodies and minds need each day. Fueled by Fresh produce distributions break down the barriers to food access that many community members face such as a lack of transportation and difficulty finding healthy food at a convenient time and location. Mobile food distributions meet our neighbors where they are and help fill the summer meal gaps that children face.
