This #GivingTuesday, Food Lion will celebrate the season of
giving with the gift of food. For the third year in a row, Food
Lion Feeds, the philanthropic arm of Food Lion, will make a $10,000
donation, or 110,000 meals, to Feeding America®. The donation also
supports the company’s “Holidays Without Hunger” in-store
campaign.
“Food Lion is committed to ending hunger in the towns and cities
we serve,” said Christy Phillips-Brown, director of External
Communications & Community Relations at Food Lion. “Programs
like ‘Holidays Without Hunger’ and our hunger-relief partners,
Feeding America and food banks in our key communities, help us make
progress toward that goal.”
This holiday season, customers can get involved in more than
1,000 Food Lion stores and help families in need. From now until
Dec. 20, customers can purchase and donate a specially-marked
“Holidays Without Hunger” food box for $5, while supplies last, or
make a cash donation at checkout. One hundred percent of cash
donations benefit the Feeding America nationwide network of food
banks, the largest domestic hunger-relief charity. Food boxes are
donated directly to a local hunger-relief food bank, food pantry or
meal program.
Through Food Lion Feeds, Food Lion unites with customers and
partners to help eliminate the difficult choices many families are
forced to make when they are struggling with hunger. With the goal
of providing 500 million meals by the end of 2020, Food Lion Feeds
has already donated approximately 250 million meals through
in-store campaigns like “Holidays Without Hunger,” its food
donation program and local donations and volunteerism.
