Food Lion Feeds Charitable Foundation – Sep 17

Posted by Food Lion Feeds Charitable Foundation on August 25, 2026

Children and family healthy food access and nutrition education grants

Deadline: September 17, 2026

In 2001, Food Lion created a 501(c)(3) foundation operated by a volunteer board to help make it easier to support and streamline requests from organizations working to combat hunger. The Food Lion Feeds Charitable Foundation awards grants to local feeding partners each year, supporting children at risk of hunger and helping agencies increase access to fresh, nutritious food. Since it began, the foundation has donated more than $29.4 million across our communities. It also supports nutrition education to help reduce the health risks that come with food insecurity.

The Food Lion Feeds Charitable Foundation limits grant awards to organizations based in or providing support in the 10 states in which we operate (within a 20 mile radius of a Food Lion store): Delaware, Georgia, Kentucky, Maryland, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, Tennessee, Virginia and West Virginia. [Note: there is a Food Lion in Claymont, DE.]
