Lowcountry Food Bank Executive Chef Emily Cookson will serve as the event’s VIP chef. Chef Robert Carter founded Chefs’ Feast in 1999, and the event has become one of Charleston’s largest charitable events.

“Our annual Chefs’ Feast event is the ideal venue to support our mission to unite our community in pursuit of equitable, dignified, and consistent access to food,” said Nick Osborne, Lowcountry Food Bank President and CEO. “2024 marks our 25th annual Chefs’ Feast, which ensures our childhood programs will provide the needed resources to our neighbors who need food assistance. We will continue to adapt, expand, and innovate to ensure we create sustainable solutions that meet the needs of our neighbors who face hunger.”

Unfortunately, one in five children in the Lowcountry experiences food insecurity. For 25 years, LCFB has depended on Chefs’ Feast benefit Kids Cafe, Backpack Buddies, School Market, School Pantry, and Summer Meals-which alleviate after-school, weekend and summer hunger for children.
