HOPKINSVILLE, KY – The Hopkinsville Community College Foundation, Inc. has received $4,300 from the Food Lion Feeds Charitable Foundation to help nourish neighbors experiencing hunger. The Nourishing our Neighbors grant supports community feeding partners by helping neighbors increase their access to nutritious food and providing nutrition education to eliminate health risks for those experiencing food insecurity.

“We are thankful to receive this grant from The Food Lion Feeds Charitable Foundation. These funds will help us keep HCC’s Pathfinder Food Pantry stocked and ensure our students get the nourishment they need,” said Rena Young, Hopkinsville Community College Foundation Executive Director. “We’ve seen a large increase in the number of visits to our Pantry over the past few months, often causing food supplies to run very low. This grant came at the perfect time.”

The Food Lion Feeds Charitable Foundation is committed to supporting families facing food insecurity across its 10-state footprint. Established in 2001, the Foundation provides financial support for programs and organizations dedicated to feeding local neighbors in the communities it serves. Since its inception, the Foundation has awarded more than $25 million in grant funding to help nourish communities with fresh food.
