O2 Parters with Lowcountry Food Bank to Fight Hunger

Written by O2 Fitness | Jun 28, 2017

 

 

We are thrilled to be partnering with the Lowcountry Food Bank and ABC Channel 4 for the Food for Families Food Drive to help feed families throughout the summer. During the school year, many families rely on school-provided food to fuel their children; for  some, it's the only nutrition they receive. Our goal, through this initiative, is to solve the issue of "summer hunger."

Through August, all 11 South Carolina club locations will be drop-off sites for food items. Bins will be set up at the front desks and anyone (even non-members) is welcome during regular business hours. To make sure children are getting the healthiest food options, we ask that food items are lower in sodium and sugar and mainly fall within the following categories:

  • Whole grains
  • Canned protein (peanut butter is great!)
  • Canned fruits and vegetables

 

ALL-DAY FOOD DRIVES

We are also hosting all-day Food Drives, broadcasted by Lowcountry Live, ABC Channel 4. We welcome you to come out at any times during these dates to donate. The dates and locations are:

  • JULY 13: Harris Teeter @ Savannah Highway
  • AUGUST 10: O2 Fitness James Island Club (848 Folly Rd. )

 

 

You can also fundraise or donate online!

Form a team, create a fundraising page, donate to a person or team, or give just yourself.

Little or small, YOU will make a difference in a child's life this summer.
