Friends Feeding Friends
Thanks to everyone who contributed to the Friends Feeding Friends food drive. Through your generosity, we collected and distributed nearly 600,000 pounds of food to Second Harvest Food Banks and their member agencies. This food has come at a critical time. Many agencies that serve the hungry are struggling to meet the demand for food. Your donations are helping to provide hundred of thousands of meals for those in need. All of us at Lowes Foods, along with those who benefit from these gifts, sincerely appreciate your support!
