Local hospitality community mobilizes to address rising food insecurity across the Lowcountry as SNAP benefits run out
WHAT:
Charleston’s hospitality community has long shown what’s possible when it comes together. With recent cuts to SNAP assistance, more Lowcountry families are facing food insecurity, and Feed the Need is stepping in to help bridge the gap. This month, Feed the Need launches a community-wide fundraising campaign in partnership with restaurants and hotels across Charleston to raise essential funds for the Lowcountry Food Bank.
Participating establishments will include check presenters encouraging patrons to donate directly, with 100% of proceeds benefiting the Lowcountry Food Bank and the neighbors most affected by reduced SNAP benefits. Every dollar raised helps ensure that more families have access to nutritious meals during a time of heightened need.

WHEN:
Tuesday, November 11 through November 30, 2025
WHERE:
Participating restaurants and hotels throughout the Charleston area.
