The Food Lion Feeds Charitable Foundation awarded $10,000 to ARM (Assistance and Resource Ministries, Inc.) to restore hope and help rebuild after Hurricane Helene devastated the region in September 2024.

This disaster relief grant provides financial assistance to community feeding partners who have played a vital role in helping those affected by the storm. These funds will support long-term recovery efforts and assist in rebuilding, repairing and restoring what was damaged or lost.

This grant funding builds upon the foundation’s year-round commitment to address food insecurity by increasing access to nutritious food and supporting nutritional education initiatives.

Since 1991, ARM has been providing food and clothing to those in need. With this generous donation from the Food Lion Charitable Foundation, ARM will not only be able to continue this important charitable work but will also be able to provide other essential items such as hygiene items, cleaning supplies, baby supplies, basic kitchen items, blankets and other basic household necessities. For those victims who have been displaced from their homes, funds may also be used to provide shelter.

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 more than $22.8 million in grants.
