In the last month, Food Lion Feeds has helped to provide the equivalent of more than 4.5 million meals, in partnership with its customers, as part of its annual “Holidays Without Hunger” campaign. Through the campaign, customers purchased nearly 790,000 specially-marked, prepacked Holidays Without Hunger food boxes for $5, which were then donated to local feeding organizations near each of Food Lion’s more than 1,000 stores.
Additionally, customers made cash donations totaling more than $100,000 in addition to Food Lion’s $100,000 contribution, which was donated to Feeding America to help the national hunger-relief organization meet unprecedented demand during the COVID-19 pandemic.
This is the 17th annual Holidays Without Hunger campaign and the most impactful yet, with box sales 44 percent higher, and an increase of cash donations by more than $3,000 over last year.
Throughout the 2020 fall college football season, Food Lion Feeds partnered with eight colleges and universities to help nourish neighbors in need.
During the season, for every quarterback sack made by the participating college, Food Lion Feeds donated 1,000 meals to the schoolâs local food bank through the Sack to Give Back program.
âAt Food Lion, we care about nourishing our neighbors in need, and we were cheering on each school to rack up as many sacks as they could this football season,â said
Jennifer Blanchard, director of community relations for Food Lion. âWeâre proud of the hard work these student athletes did on the field to ensure our neighbors do not have to worry about where their next meal will come from this holiday season.â
