Food Lion launches 'Summer Without Hunger' program to benefit childhood food insecurity

The campaign runs June 26 through July 23, and Food Lion partners will match the purchase amount of every bag sold, resulting in the equivalent of 60 meals being provided each time someone buys a bag.

The campaign has helped provide more than 57 million meals to children and families in need since it began in 2019. The retailer has committed to donating 1.5 billion meals by 2025.

"When children are out of school, many lack immediate access to healthy and nutritious foods," said Kevin Durkee, manager of Food Lion Feeds. "With the support of our valued customers and suppliers, we are helping nourish children in the towns and cities we serve, setting them up for success in life. Together, we can be the catalysts for change, ensuring children and their families have access to nutritious food."
