Stanly Community Christian Ministry has received $1,725 from the Food Lion Feeds Charitable Foundation to help feed local residents.

SCCM will use the gift to purchase food for its Community Tables and food pantries in Albemarle and Norwood.

“We are so grateful for this gift from The Food Lion Feeds Charitable Foundation, which will help provide food to our neighbors in need in Stanly County,” said Heather Kilde, executive director, SCCM.

Food purchases fill needs in SCCM’s pantries that are unmet by community donations and the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, as well as providing meals to guests at the Community Tables, where hot lunches are served daily.
