Food Lion Partners with Local Food Banks during Orange Bag Campaign Fundraiser

Food Lion grocers’ charity, Food Lion Feeds, held its annual Orange Bag campaign to provide 1.6 million meals to feed food-insecure neighbors.

Customers purchased specially marked Food Lion Feeds orange bags or made a cash donation at the register during checkout at Food Lion stores. Each bag sold helped provide five meals to local Feeding America member food banks.

“Food Lion is so grateful to our customers who participated in this campaign to support their neighbors,” said Kevin Durkee, Manager, Food Lion Feeds, Food Lion. “Caring for the towns and cities we serve is at the core of everything we do. The Orange Bag campaign is a direct reflection of how Food Lion customers and Food Lion Feeds rallies to make an impact on our neighbors in need.”

Since 2014, Food Lion Feeds has provided more than 900 million meals to neighbors in need. In addition, the company’s Food Lion Food Rescue program donates near-date fresh produce and pantry staples to local feeding agencies.
