Food Lion Feeds is changing the game for hunger relief through its annual Sack to Give Back program. This fall, the campaign is supporting 35 colleges and universities and helping nourish college students’ bodies and minds while addressing food insecurity. As part of our ongoing efforts to provide hunger relief, Food Lion Feeds will donate 1,000 meals (up to 30,000 meals per school) for every quarterback sack made by participating colleges and institutions. The annual initiative benefits campus food pantries or affiliated Feeding America partner food banks, where each school is located throughout Food Lion’s 10-state operating area. Since 2019, the Sack to Give Back program has resulted in more than 3 million meals* donated to local campus food pantries and food banks.
