    Carolyn White sorts through boxes at the Lowcountry Food Bank for items that can meet the needs of the 'Hollywood Collaboration,' a consortium of 37 churches in St. Paul's Parish. The five-year-old consortium brings food to churches that redistribute it.

    Jermaine Husser, executive director of the Lowcountry Food Bank, leads a tour of the food bank's 60,000-square-foot warehouse at 2864 Azalea Drive.
