FeedNC has received $3,500 from the Food Lion Feeds Charitable Foundation to help nourish neighbors experiencing hunger. The “Nourishing Our Neighbors” grant supports community feeding partners as they tackle food insecurity and promote healthier lifestyles through nutritional education initiatives.

This support will be used to purchase food to be distributed through FeedNC’s Food and Nutrition programs, which fight hunger and increase access to fresh, nutritious food for neighbors in need.

Together, these programs served 5,000 unique individuals in 2023, including 1,500 children.

The Food Lion Feeds Charitable Foundation is committed to supporting families facing food insecurity across its 10-state footprint. Established in 2001, the foundation provides financial support for programs and organizations dedicated to feeding local neighbors in the communities it serves. Since its inception, the foundation has awarded more than $19.6 million in grants.
