About Lowcountry Food Bank
Lowcountry Food Bank Inc centers its grantmaking on distribution of food and grocery products across the 10 coastal counties of South Carolina. The largest recent grant in the dataset was $6,440,554 to Public Distribution in Charleston for distribution of food and grocery products, followed by $5,198,867 in 2025 to Public in Charleston for the same purpose. That pattern points to a funder built around direct food access rather than broad philanthropic categories. Recent grants also show support for Second Helpings - Beaufort in Hilton Head Island, reflecting a recurring channel for moving food and grocery products to local partners. The foundation’s stated purpose is to unite the community in pursuit of equitable, dignified, and consistent access to food. Its recent awards repeatedly go to churches, community organizations, and local distribution sites, with grant descriptions that stay close to food distribution and grocery access. Lowcountry Food Bank Inc also appears in the recent record as a major operational support funder, backing the logistics of getting food to households, seniors, veterans, and other local recipients through place-based partners.
What Lowcountry Food Bank Funds
Food distribution is the core of Lowcountry Food Bank Inc’s recent grantmaking. It gave $2,380,114 in 2025 to Gateway Open Arms in Moncks Corner for distribution of food and grocery products, and $1,245,331 in 2025 to The Shepherd’s Table in Conway for the same purpose. The repeated wording in these grants shows a strong emphasis on direct in-kind food movement. Community-based access points are another clear theme. In 2025, the foundation awarded $1,250,280 to True Faith Holiness Church in North Charleston and $1,239,282 to Murrells Inlet Church of God in Murrells Inlet, both for distribution of food and grocery products. Faith-based and neighborhood organizations appear frequently in the recent grants list. The grant record also reflects support for local food access infrastructure. In 2024, the foundation gave $1,394,895 to Humanities Foundation West Ashley for distribution of food and grocery products, connecting the funder’s food-security mission to place-based service delivery.
How Lowcountry Food Bank Gives
Typical grants cluster in the six-figure range, with a p25 of $29,560, a median of $93,976, and a p75 of $214,095. The recent grants list also includes multiple awards in the million-dollar range, indicating a mix of smaller operating support and very large distribution grants. The organization is a Regular Funder, not a DAF, and it does not fund individuals or make program-related investments. The recent record shows repeated awards to the same recipients across years, including several organizations that appear in both 2023 and 2025, which points to ongoing relationships rather than one-time awards.
