Converse University announced Jan. 8 it received a $10,000 grant from the Food Lion Feeds Charitable Foundation.
The organization’s disaster relief grant program provides financial assistance to community partners, like Converse, who have played a vital role in helping those affected by Hurricane Helene.
“In the aftermath of Hurricane Helene, our campus community has been eager to direct its energy into a place of service,” said Rev. Eliza Smith DeBevoise, who oversees Converse’s Valkyrie Supply basic needs hub. “As we work to repair the damage on campus, we cannot thank the Food Lion Feeds Charitable Foundation enough for committing their support to Converse and our students experiencing food insecurity.”
Converse also received a $1,500 donation from the Food Lion Feeds Charitable Foundation in 2023.
