JOINT BASE CHARLESTON, S.C. –
On behalf of Joint Base Charleston, the Navy Region Southeast and the chapel staff, thanks to everyone on the Naval Weapons Station who contributed to the "Feds Feed Families" food drive. Through your efforts, compassion and generosity, we were able to donate 1,521 pounds of food to the Lowcountry Food Bank which will provide 1,170 meals for the many people in the 10 coastal counties of South Carolina who are in need.
We are especially grateful to the Naval Consolidated Brig Charleston, the Naval Nuclear Power Training Command and the Naval Health Clinic Charleston. These three organizations held internal food drives and contributed the bulk of our donations - so special thanks goes out to all who helped organize or contribute to these food drive drives.
To all who contributed to this food drive, I wish to echo the words of the Lowcountry Food Bank: "Your hard work, commitment and compassion made your food drive a true success and will have a profound effect on our community. You have given breakfast to hungry children, helped working parents who struggle simply to put food on the table or provided a healthy meal for home-bound seniors."
Next year, through your hard work and compassionate generosity, we will be able to donate even more food for needy people in our communities.
