“We are honored to sponsor such a worthy cause,” said Cheryl Vineyard, Coordinator for Lennar’s Coastal Carolina “From Our Home To Their Home” program. “There are too many people who are hungry and suffering. We, as a community have an opportunity with this drive to make an impact in the lives of others by providing one of the most important resources, food.”

The Lowcountry Food Bank will accept monetary donations as well as the following items:
Protein Products
