When we launched Food Lion Feeds in 2014, we set a goal of donating 500 million meals by the end of 2020. Thanks to the efforts of you, our customers, associates, and partners, we have reached that goal, donating an average of 56,519 meals every day for 5 years. Together, we will continue to make a difference in the lives of our neighbors in need, now and tomorrow!
