Food Lion Feeds supports local hunger relief efforts
Working in partnership to help address food insecurity and increase access to nutritious food, Food Lion has donated the equivalent of 25,000 meals* to Second Helpings in Hilton Head Island, S.C. The meals are provided through a $2,500 contribution from Food Lion’s hunger relief platform, Food Lion Feeds.
In addition, Second Helpings will regularly collect food 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. In 2000, 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.
Through Food Lion Feeds, the omnichannel retailer has donated more than 1.5 billion meals to individuals and families since 2014 and is committed to doubling its efforts with a goal to provide a total of 3 billion meals by 2032.
