Senior Citizens, Inc. (SCI), a nonprofit dedicated to enhancing the quality of life for area seniors, has received $2,500 from the Food Lion Feeds Charitable Foundation to help fund its Meals on Wheels program.

“We are so grateful to receive this gift from the Food Lion Feeds Charitable Foundation,” said SCI President Patti Lyons. “Support like this will help us in our efforts to provide healthy meals and wellness checks to more seniors in our community who are facing the threat of hunger each day.”

SCI’s Meals on Wheels program currently delivers 1,800 hot, healthy meals and friendly smiles each day to seniors throughout Chatham, Bryan, Liberty, and Effingham counties.

Established in 2001, the Food Lion Feeds Charitable Foundation provides financial support for programs and organizations dedicated to feeding the hungry in the communities it serves. Since its inception, the foundation has awarded more than $12 million in grants.
