When disaster strikes, we’re proud that our brands are quick to care for customers and communities. As Tropical Storm Debby headed toward the East Coast last week, threatening a large part of Food Lion's operating area, the brand quickly mobilized to support its communities – with the help of ADUSA Distribution & ADUSA Transportation. Providing support to American Red Cross and several county- and state-operated shelters, Food Lion Feeds delivered a truckload of 19 pallets of water and more than 12,000 units of Food Lion sandwich crackers and breakfast bars to individuals in areas impacted by the storm.
