Supporting a Cause

SC Restaurant & Lodging Foundation

Columbia Food and Wine Festival has been transferred into a nonprofit limited liability company wholly owned by The Post and Courier Foundation. As a nonprofit organization, the festival is able to fully expand its efforts while continuing to give back in a bigger way. The festival will also continue to support the South Carolina Restaurant and Lodging Foundation (SCRLF), a nonprofit beneficiary that has been involved with the festival since 2020.
