Food Lion Feeds partners with Foodbank of Southeastern VA for food distribution in Norfolk
NORFOLK, Va. (WAVY) — Food Lion Feeds teamed up with the Foodbank of Southeastern Virginia and the Eastern Shore on Tuesday to put food on tables across Hampton Roads.
The event took place at Saint Paul's Mobile Pantry as part of Food Lion's 'Thanks-A-Billion' tour. Drivers were able to pull up for volunteers to put bags of fresh and nutritious food in their vehicles.
One person who picked up food, Adam Rodgers, called the program amazing.
'I think it's a wonderful thing,' Rodgers said. 'A lot of people don't have the monthly income to take care of food, there's a shortage. If you can't use it yourself, you come up here because you know eligible people and you pass it out.'
According to a release, Food Lion Feeds is celebrating a milestone of 1.5 billion meals donated. Norfolk was one of seven food distribution events on the tour.
