Whole Man Ministries of North Carolina was recently awarded $4,000, a grant from the Food Lion Feeds Charitable Foundation, the philanthropic program of Food Lion, a grocer headquartered in Salisbury. The Charitable Foundation’s grants are designed to assist in hunger-relief programs such as Whole Man Ministries Food Pantry.

“Here at Whole Man Ministries, it is always our desire to reach beyond the walls to help the community. We appreciate Food Lion Feeds Charitable Foundation for helping us meet hunger needs in our community,” said Pastor Barry Washington.

Whole Man Ministries is a grassroot, nonprofit organization. The grant from the Food Lion Feeds Charitable Foundation helps Whole Man Ministries continue to feed those who are in need.

Whole Man Ministries said it believes in a hands-on approach when supporting the community and are thankful the Food Lion Feeds Charitable Foundation shares their approach.

Established in 2001, the Food Lion Feeds Charitable Foundation provides financial support for programs and organizations dedicated to feeding the hungry in the communities it serves. Since its inception, the foundation has awarded more than $9 million in grants.
