The Food Lion Feeds Charitable Foundation has made grants of more than $775,000 to nearly 300 nonprofit organizations across the omnichannel retailer's 10-state footprint.
The grants support efforts to fight food insecurity and represent an 83% increase in the number of grants provided in the previous cycle last fall, according to a press release.
"We are proud to support our community partners who are seeing an increase in the number of neighbors needing food assistance," Adam Bass, president, Food Lion Feeds Charitable Foundation, said in the release. "For our neighbors, some basic necessities are overwhelming, and these agencies are doing everything they can to serve a critical need for hundreds of hungry communities. Through the Food Lion Feeds Charitable Foundation, we are grateful to partner with our nonprofit organizations who continue to make a difference in the towns and cities we serve."
Since its inception in 2001, the foundation has donated more than $16 million across Food Lion's 10-state operating area
