Those suffering from food shortages in their home can take advantage of a $300,000 grant given to the Golden Harvest Food Bank by a large supermarket chain.
Food Lion Feeds Charitable Foundation presented a $300,000 disaster relief grant to the Food Bank.
“Food Lion has always stood alongside us, supporting our mission to feed our neighbors in need,” said Amy Breitmann, President and CEO, Golden Harvest Food Bank. “This $300,000 grant is yet another example of their unwavering commitment, bringing hope and vital relief to families recovering from the storm.”
Food Lion Feeds, established in 2014 by Food Lion, is an omnichannel grocery retailer initiative created to combat food insecurity. Through this program, Food Lion provides nutritious food to nourish neighbors experiencing hunger.
