Food Lion Feeds supports Harvest Hope Food
BankWorking in partnership to help address food insecurity
and increase access to nutritious food, Food Lion has contributed
$2,500 through its hunger relief platform, Food Lion Feeds, to
Harvest Hope Food Bank. The donation is equivalent to 25,000
meals.
In addition, Harvest Hope regularly collects food rescue from
the store to distribute to neighbors experiencing hunger. Donating
unsaleable edible food that might otherwise go to waste gives
neighbors access to nutritious food. More than 20 years ago, Food
Lion was the first grocery retailer in the country to establish a
food rescue program with Feeding America®, the nation’s largest
domestic hunger relief organization. In addition to providing
fresh, nutritious food, Food Lion associates volunteer to support
Harvest Hope’s hunger relief efforts year-round. The organization
received a $21,000 capacity grant from Food Lion Feeds in 2024 to
purchase a cardboard baler. This equipment helps Harvest Hope save
space, increase efficiency in cardboard waste and reduce costs.
Through Food Lion Feeds, the omnichannel retailer has donated
more than 1.2 billion meals to individuals and families since 2014
and has committed to donating 1.5 billion meals by 2025. For more
