鈥淭his generous gift from Food Lion comes at a very appropriate time as inflation has suddenly popped up, so our same students and their families that were struggling because of COVID are still struggling now, hampered by inflation.

It is because of organizations like Food Lion that we can help to relieve our students and their families of some of the hardships that come with buying food,鈥 said Gooding.
