In 2021, there were more than 704,00 people facing food insecurity in Virginia, according to an interactive map by Feeding America. To patch the shortfall, the nonprofit organization calculated a need of nearly $453 million.

Thankfully, local food banks, community organizations, and even businesses often step up to help fill the gap. This month, select Food Lion grocery stores across the company’s operating area will support Feeding America’s Hunger Action Month in a unique way. Charitable Foundation Food Lion Feeds will provide dozens of food pantries with practical upgrades. During the Great Pantry Makeover, 27 pantries will receive remodels and have their shelves stocked.

Virginia recipients will include:
🍏  Providence United Church of Christ in Chesapeake
🍏 Gleaning Baptist Church in Gloucester
🍏 Emmanuel Church of God in Christ in North Dinwiddie
🍏 Belmont Community Resource Center in Richmond

Through the end of the month, Food Lion associates will volunteer their time and talents to complete the projects. To learn more about how Food Lion Feeds is helping tackle food insecurity, check out our link in bio.
