More than 400 community partners and guests are expected to attend to unite the community in pursuit of equitable, dignified, and consistent access to food. All proceeds from Chefs' Feast support Lowcountry Food Bank's childhood hunger programs.

"Our annual Chefs' Feast event is the ideal venue to support our mission to unite our community in pursuit of equitable, dignified, and consistent access to food," said Nick Osborne, Lowcountry Food Bank President and CEO. "In 2025, food prices, and basic, monthly expenses like rent and gasoline are still high, so we need community support to ensure that our childhood programs will provide the needed resources to our neighbors who need food assistance. We want to ensure that the neighbors we serve receive the dignity and respect they deserve, so they, too, can be active participants and contributors to a nourished and thriving coastal South Carolina."
Unfortunately, one in five children in the Lowcountry experiences food insecurity. For 26 years, LCFB has depended on Chefs' Feast to fund its childhood hunger programs. Proceeds from Chefs' Feast benefit Kids Café, Backpack Buddies, School Market, School Pantry and Summer Meals - which alleviate after-school, weekend and summer hunger for children.
