Donation will help nourish families impacted by the disaster

SALISBURY, N.C. —Food Lion is donating $50,000 to World Central Kitchen to support emergency food relief efforts following the recent earthquakes in Venezuela.

The donation will help World Central Kitchen provide nutritional support to families and communities impacted by the disaster. The organization is actively serving hot meals in Miranda, La Guaira and Carabobo, the hardest-hit areas, while also working with local restaurants and partners to extend reach in affected communities.

"At Food Lion, nourishing families is at the heart of who we are and has been part of our heritage for nearly 70 years," said Greg Finchum, President, Food Lion. "Our hearts are with the families and communities in Venezuela who have been impacted by this devastation. We are grateful to support World Central Kitchen as they nourish and care for people during an incredibly difficult time."

In 2024, Food Lion donated $250,000 to World Central Kitchen to support disaster relief efforts following Hurricane Helene. These donations reflect our long-standing commitment to helping communities in times of need.
