Augusta Technical College has received $3,000 from the Food Lion Feeds Charitable Foundation to help its 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, according to a Dec. 10 news release.
“We appreciate the Food Lion Feeds Charitable Foundation’s generous support. This grant strengthens our ability to meet the basic needs of Augusta Tech students, helping ensure that food insecurity is never a barrier to academic success,” said Beth Sacksteder, Augusta Tech’s Director of Annual Giving and Alumni Development.
