Lowes Foods is proud to be a responsible and caring member of the communities in which we do business. We have a strong commitment to make them better places in which to live and work. One way we achieve that is by encouraging our employees to become involved in a wide range of community activities in the cities and towns where they work. We also support non-profit groups through donations. The charitable efforts of Lowes Foods are focused on areas that are closely related to our mission, such as eliminating hunger, promoting good nutrition and educating children.
During the months of November and December we hold the Friends Feeding Friends food drive to support Feeding America (formally known as Second Harvest Food Banks) and their member agencies in North Carolina, South Carolina & Virginia.
We participate in many other fundraising events throughout the year. We support hundreds of organizations through our Lowe's Foods Gift Card Fundraising Program called Club Cash.

Thanks again to Lowes Foods and to Johnsonville for giving Senior Services the opportunity to work at the Johnsonville Big Grille Event in order to raise money for the agency last Friday night. We raised ‘funds’ that will be used at Senior Services to help seniors stay in their own homes…and the Senior Services volunteer team really enjoyed themselves!
--Patty Mead, Senior Services
A great big thank you to Johnsonville and Lowes Foods for helping us raise much needed funds to support our efforts in the community.
