LOWCOUNTRY, S.C. (WCIV) — The Lowcountry Food Bank announced Thursday that they have been awarded $5,000 in grant funding to support veterans throughout coastal South Carolina who are experiencing food insecurity.
According to the food bank, the money was awarded by CSX Transportation, a leading supplier of rail-based freight transportation in North America.
“Thanks to organizations like CSX, we have the honor of helping uplift veterans who have given so much of themselves to serve our nation,” said Nick Osborne, LCFB President and CEO in a prepared statement. “We want to express heartfelt thanks to CSX for supporting our mission and to our veterans who may simply be going through a difficult time.”
The Lowcountry Food Bank works to distribute healthy food, including fresh produce to anyone facing food insecurity, including veterans.
Out of the more than 40 million people that Feeding America food banks serve each year, 20 percent of the households served include someone who has served or is currently serving in the U.S. Military.
