$250,000 in annual grant funding nourishes older adults and expands nutrition services

SALISBURY, N.C., Oct. 16, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — With a commitment to nourishing neighbors, Food Lion Feeds is donating $250,000 to support hunger relief initiatives provided by Meals on Wheels America, bringing the total investment to $1 million since 2022. According to Meals on Wheels America, approximately 12 million seniors experience food insecurity, with many at greater risk of malnutrition due to decreased appetite, mobility issues and a myriad of other factors.

Food Lion Feeds was founded in 2014 by Food Lion to address food insecurity in the towns and cities it serves. Of the $250,000 investment, $225,000 will be awarded to community-based Meals on Wheels programs in Food Lion’s 10-state operating footprint to address senior hunger and isolation. The funds will expand senior nutrition services in 13 communities during the grant period from August 2024 to August 2025. The remaining $25,000 in funds committed will be contributed to Meals on Wheels America as part of a one-day giving campaign on Oct. 16, which is also World Food Day. For every dollar donated to Meals on Wheels America on this day, Food Lion Feeds will match, $2 for $1, up to $25,000. Donations can be made online. World Food Day has been observed annually since 1981 and increases awareness of world hunger and inspires solutions to improve food security and global nutrition.

“Our donation to Meals on Wheels America aligns with our commitment to address community needs and nourish our neighbors,” said Kevin Durkee, Manager, Food Lion Feeds, Food Lion. “Through this strategic partnership, the grants support local community partners in our shared mission to deliver nutritious meals to seniors. Their efforts foster a sense of belonging for our neighbors while enabling them to remain independent in their home and maintain their well-being.”

Food Lion Feeds’ 2023 investment of $250,000 resulted in providing meals to 24,018 seniors by local Meals on Wheels programs. In addition, these programs provided medically tailored meal options and met increased client needs for breakfast and weekend meals. Through this partnership, Food Lion associates also forged new relationships with the local programs, with some associates volunteering to deliver meals regularly. While the national partnership between the two organizations began formally in 2022, this impact grant builds on Food Lion Feeds’ long-term support and commitment to Meals on Wheels programs in the towns and cities it serves.

“We are incredibly grateful to Food Lion Feeds for their continued support and unwavering commitment to our mission of nourishing and empowering seniors nationwide,” said Ellie Hollander, President and CEO of Meals on Wheels America. “We commend Food Lion Feeds for their leadership in working to end hunger in the communities it serves, and we are delighted to work alongside them in our collective efforts to serve older adults experiencing hunger and isolation.”
