VALDOSTA – The Food Lion Feeds Charitable Foundation awarded $10,000 to the Lowndes Associated Ministries to People 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.
“We are deeply grateful to the Food Lion Feeds Charitable Foundation for their generosity and commitment to supporting those affected by Hurricane Helene,” said Yurshema Flanders, executive director of LAMP. “This grant will help our program Lunch at LAMP meet the ongoing demand for food in the weeks and months ahead.”
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.
