Food Lion has been a partner with Children’s National Medical Center through Children's Miracle Network since 1991. Since then, through their store fundraising efforts, Food Lion has raised approximately $2,238,016.10 for Children's National Medical Center and over $33 million, over the last 19 years, for the 31 Children's Miracle Network hospitals in their 11 state operating area. In addition, Food Lion made the generous donation of $1 million to build the Food Lion Outpatient Neurology Clinic in 2008 at Children’s National Medical Center. 

The annual "Food Lion ... for the Children" campaign raises money for local Children's Miracle Network hospitals through customers’ purchase of paper CMN balloons.  In addition, the Food Lion associates raise money throughout the year through sponsoring car shows, golf tournaments, and hosting customer appreciation days.

Food Lion strives to be a caring neighbor and good corporate citizen in the communities it serves. Through corporate and foundation giving, campaigns carried out by more than 1,200 stores, local programs and individual employee involvement, Food Lion supports its communities and numerous non-profit organizations.

Food Lion associates take pride in being "Good Neighbors." As a community-focused business and grocery leader, Food Lion continually sets high fundraising goals to help hospitalized kids.
