Food LionCharities We Support
Working Together to Eliminate HungerAll Food Lion stores are encouraged to partner with local food banks and make year-round food donations. "Food Lion continues to lead the supermarket industry with new and innovative programs," said Eric Davis, Feeding America director of program development. Food Lion was "the first retailer to donate perishable products from retail stores and have offered [its] experience with this program to other retailers in an effort to help grow the program nationally. Food Lion's willingness to share their experience has led other retailers to start retail donation programs."
