Rappahannock Community College (RCC) Name of Organization has received $2,000 from the Food Lion Feeds Charitable Foundation to help nourish neighbors experiencing hunger. The Nourishing our Neighbors grant supports community feeding partners by helping neighbors increase their access to nutritious food and providing nutrition education to eliminate health risks for those experiencing food insecurity.
“We appreciate the generous grant from Food Lion Feeds Charitable Foundation to help our students and staff who face food insecurity,” said Kelly Clifton, Chair, RCC’s Food Insecurity Committee. “When students are hungry or worry about where their next meal will come from, it presents learning challenges. This grant will help us provide nutritious foods through our campus food pantries.”
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 grant funding to help nourish communities with fresh food.
