Partnership increases access to nutritious food in Union County

Common Heart has received a $3,600 grant from the Food Lion Feeds Charitable Foundation to help nourish neighbors experiencing hunger. 

The “Nourishing Our Neighbors” grant supports Food Lion’s community feeding partners, like Common Heart, as they tackle food insecurity and promote healthier lifestyles through nutritional education initiatives.

“Summer is a time of uncertainty for so many in our community facing food insecurity and partners like Food Lion are the hope our neighbors need,” said Keith Adams, Common Heart Executive Director. “Every week, families are finding stability, compassion, and connection through the generosity of this community. Food Lion’s support brings dignity and relief to those who experience hunger and poverty in our community. We are so very thankful for their generosity.” 

The Food Lion Feeds Charitable Foundation is committed to supporting families facing food insecurity across its 10-state footprint. 

Established in 2001, the foundation provides financial support for programs and organizations dedicated to feeding local neighbors in the communities it serves. Since its inception, the foundation has awarded nearly $23 million in grants.
