This will give thousands of families who are food insecure access to healthy food.
Times are difficult, I mean costs are going up, transport costs, food costs, housing costs,” said Nick Osborne, president & CEO of Lowcountry Food Bank. “So when we have a community coming together and uniting, it makes a huge difference, and as I said it’s humbling.
Every week, BJ’s will also donate fresh produce, meat and dairy products to the food bank.
For the past 15 years, BJ’s has worked with Feeding America, providing over 125 million meals for those in need.
