Feeding Greene GRANTS
WALMART FOUNDATION SPARK GOOD GRANT
The Walmart Spark Good Grant plays a vital role in supporting Feeding Greene by providing essential funding to help combat food insecurity. As a community-driven initiative, Spark Good allows Walmart to reinvest in local nonprofits, ensuring organizations like Feeding Greene have the resources needed to serve families in need.
With this $5,000 grant, Feeding Greene can purchase fresh and nutritious food, including protein, dairy, and pantry staples, to distribute to the 900 families it serves each month. The funding also helps sustain critical programs, such as holiday meal distributions, emergency food assistance, and operational support to keep the pantry running efficiently.

FOOD LION FEEDS
Feeding Greene has received $3,000 from the Food Lion Feeds Charitable Foundation to help nourish neighbors experiencing hunger. The “Nourishing Our Neighbors” grant supports community feeding partners as they tackle food insecurity and promote healthier lifestyles through nutritional education initiatives.
“These funds will be used to support our Backpack Program,” said Rhonda Oliver, spokesperson for Feeding Greene, Inc., the food pantry of Greene County. “We collaborate with all our local schools in Greene County to provide food to children at risk of food insecurity each week through the school year. This program provides breakfast, lunch, and dinner options to cover the weekend. We also provide holiday and summer boxes for the times of year the children are out of school.”
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 $19.6 million in grants.
