The Salvation Army of Washington has received $2,750 from the Food Lion Feeds Charitable Foundation to help feed local residents in their time of need. 

“Food Lion has been a loyal supporter of The Salvation Army for many years. We thank the Food Lion Feeds Charitable Foundation for providing valuable funds this year to help feed the less fortunate in our area,” said Captain Karl Bush of the Army’s Washington Corps. 

The funds will be used to provide boxes of food designed to feed a hungry individual or family for up to two weeks.
