Score to Give More — and give back

As college basketball tips off, Food Lion Feeds is bringing fresh energy to the court with its annual Score to Give More program. The initiative unites 55 college basketball teams, to help end hunger across Food Lion’s 10-state operating area.

For every free throw made this season, Food Lion Feeds will help provide 100 meals (up to 30,000 meals per team) to each school’s campus food pantry or affiliated Feeding America partner food bank. Since 2019, the Score to Give More program has helped donate more than 6.5 million meals.

Among participants are five South Carolina teams, including the University of South Carolina’s men’s team.

“At Food Lion, we care deeply about the towns and cities we serve because our neighbors, including college students, count on us every day,” said Kevin Durkee
