COLUMBUS, Ga. (WALB) - Feeding the Valley Food Bank got a $40,000 grant from CVS Health, as part of the food bank’s commitment to building healthier communities, the food bank said in a release.
The funding will provide 240,000 meals to families in the food bank’s 18-county service area. This includes Calhoun, Clay, Dougherty, Lee, Quitman, Randolph, Stewart, Terrell and Webster counties.
“During this extraordinary time as we navigate through a global pandemic, food insecurity is on the rise nationwide. Feeding America estimates that 50 million people in the United States are now food insecure,” said Frank Sheppard, Feeding the Valley president and CEO. “Feeding the Valley is distributing 53 percent more food during this health crisis and serving people who have never needed our assistance before. These grant funds from CVS Health will help us provide food to families experiencing these hardships.”
