TD Charitable Foundation awards Lowcountry Food Bank $10,000 to support its Food for Health program
November 5, 2026
Lowcountry Food Bank (LCFB) announced today that the TD Charitable Foundation, the giving arm of TD Bank U.S., has donated $10,000 to support LCFB’s Food for Health program. Funds will support the purchase of nutritious food for patients who screen positive for food insecurity.
Lowcountry Food Bank (LCFB) believes that working alongside its partners to improve their neighbors’ access to the nutritious foods they need to thrive is integral to improving health outcomes and decrease costs associated with poor health.
“At TD, we recognize that reliable access to nutritious food is foundational to better health, workforce participation, and economic mobility,” said Demetrius Johnson, Head of Retail Operations at TD Bank U.S. “TD Charitable Foundation is proud to support Lowcountry Food Bank’s Food for Health program, an investment that can help advance healthier outcomes, reduce barriers to opportunity, and build stronger, more resilient families and communities.”
LCFB’s Food for Health initiative was developed to support healthcare partners and help break the cycle between food insecurity and chronic disease. As healthcare systems evolve to address improved population health, patient experience, and a reduction in costs, food banks are strategically positioned to help improve the health and well-being of communities through programs like Food for Health.
LCFB’s partnership with healthcare providers through Food for Health ensures that patients who experience food insecurity have direct access to nutritious food. LCFB can modify the program to meet the needs of its healthcare partners and the people they serve. Developed through evidence-based interventions, LCFB’s Food for Health program helps patients access the food they need to nourish their bodies. Healthcare partners also receive referral cards and/or posters to direct patients to local LCFB partner food pantries.
“When our neighbors have consistent access to nutritious food, they have a stronger foundation for good health,” said Nick Osborne, President and CEO of Lowcountry Food Bank. “Through Food for Health, we’re working alongside healthcare providers to connect patients with the nutritious food they need, right where they are receiving care. We’re grateful to the TD Charitable Foundation for investing in a program that recognizes food as an important part of health and helps our neighbors live healthier lives.”
