Food Lion Feeds is transforming our communities while addressing hunger one pantry at a time. Through our annual initiative, The Great Pantry Makeover, Food Lion Feeds supports our community feeding partners by providing funds and volunteering hours for capital improvement projects. Throughout September, our associates will provide more than 900 volunteer hours to transform 38 community feeding partner pantries across our 10-state operating area. This effort, which includes remodeling and stocking food pantries, also expands access to nutritious food while addressing food insecurity. Since 2015, Food Lion Feeds has renovated or supported more than 320 food pantries through The Great Pantry Makeover.

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.
