Goose Creek area families are invited to come and help themselves to some fresh, free food items on Wednesday, Sept. 18 when Lowcountry Food Bank hosts its Fresh for All event at Goose Creek High.

Lowcountry Food Bank partners with schools in the 10 coastal counties to end hunger and provide equitable access to healthy and nutritious food.

One of the ways the organization brings food to communities is through the Fresh for All events; Lowcountry Food Bank teams up with different groups, such as schools, to host these events on-site and invite members of the community to come and collect fresh food, such as carrots, potatoes, peppers, canned goods and more.

Food at these events are available on a first-come, first-served basis, until supplies are depleted.

This is a no-cost event; residents are asked to please bring their own bags for collecting food items.

Lowcountry Food Bank's Fresh for All event will run from 5 p.m. to 7 p.m. next Wednesday in front of Goose Creek High. The school is located at 1037 Red Bank Road.
