SALISBURY, N.C. – Food Lion Feeds, Food Lion’s hunger-relief platform, is tipping off the 2026-27 college basketball season with its annual Score To Give More® initiative. The program brings together 51 teams, including 15 women’s teams, to help nourish neighbors across Food Lion’s 10-state operating area.
For every free throw made by a participating team this season, Food Lion Feeds will help provide 100 meals* (up to 30,000 meals per team) to the school’s campus food pantry or affiliated Feeding America® partner food bank. View the list of participating colleges and universities, here.
Since 2019, Score To Give More has helped provide more than 8.2 million meals*.
“Every free throw is an opportunity to help a neighbor put a nourishing meal on the table,” said Kevin Durkee, Manager, Food Lion Feeds, Food Lion. “Our college partners are making hunger relief part of the game, supporting campus food pantries and local food banks throughout the season. Together, we’re helping to eliminate nutritional barriers for students and families.”
Score To Give More is one of several ways Food Lion Feeds works with colleges and universities to nourish neighbors. Through Sack To Give Back®, Food Lion Feeds helps provide 1,000 meals* (up to 30,000 meals per school) for every quarterback sack made by participating schools’ football teams.
Through Food Lion Feeds, Food Lion has helped to provide more than 1.5 billion meals to individuals and families since 2014 and has committed to donate 3 billion meals by 2032. For more information on Food Lion Feeds’ commitment to ending hunger, visit foodlion.com/feeds.
