Food Lion Feeds Invites Kids Ages 5-14 to Participate in a Design-a-Reusable-Bag Contest through Nov. 6

Winning Design to Be Featured on Reusable Bag Sold in Over 1,100 Food Lion Stores

Public Company Information:
NYSE: DEG

In 2015, Food Lion Feeds partnered with some of its youngest fans to provide more than 1 million meals to families in need through the sale of a special Food Lion Feeds reusable bags sold in its stores. The grocer is now inviting kids ages 5-14 to participate in its Food Lion Feeds "Summers Without Hunger" Design-a-Reusable-Bag Contest. The winning design will be featured on next year's Food Lion Feeds reusable bag, which will be sold in more than 1,100 stores in June 2016. The campaign is anticipated to help provide another 1 million meals to families and children in need.

During the summer months, Food Lion realizes some students go hungry because the only nutritious meal they receive is at school. To participate in the contest, kids are asked to draw how they would help feed someone who is hungry in their drawings, kids can show how everyone in the community can help - from family members, friends, their heroes, their school or other organization – or even the Food Lion lion! In addition to having his or her drawing featured on the 2016 reusable bag, the grand prize winner will also receive an iPad Mini2 and a $1,000 donation to a food bank in his or her name. Up to four runners-up will all receive an iPad Mini and a $1,000 donation to a food bank in their names.

There is no purchase necessary to enter or win. Entry forms, specific instructions and the official rules are available at www.foodlion.com/feeds. All entries must be received or post-dated by Nov. 6, 2015. Open to legal residents of Del., Ga., Ky., Md., N.C., Pa., S.C., Tenn., Va., or W.Va., and the District of Columbia (DC), ages 5 to 14, with permission of their parent or legal guardian.
