Food Lion Feeds supports community partner
feeding agenciesWorking in partnership to help address
food insecurity and increase access to nutritious food, Food Lion
has contributed $1,500 through its hunger relief platform, Food
Lion Feeds, to Faith in Action and Capital Pentecostal Church. The
total $3,000 donation is equivalent to 30,000 meals.
In addition, each of these organizations will
regularly collect food rescue from the store to distribute to
neighbors experiencing hunger. Donating unsaleable edible food that
might otherwise go to waste gives neighbors access to nutritious
food. Food Lion was the first grocery retailer in the country to
establish a food rescue program with Feeding America®, the nation’s
largest domestic hunger relief organization, more than 20 years
ago.
Through Food Lion Feeds, the omnichannel retailer
has donated more than 1.2 billion meals to individuals and families
since 2014 and has committed to donating 1.5 billion meals by 2025.
