CHARLOTTE — A neighborhood here became the latest recipient of Food Lion’s Operation Grocery Drop over the weekend.
On Saturday, Food Lion employees rang doorbells to deliver free My Essentials private-label groceries to every household on the winning block. Each household received $15 to $25 worth of groceries, up to $2,500.
The neighborhood was chosen from an online contest. Consumers could enter their neighborhood by “liking” the Food Lion Facebook page, and stating why their neighborhood deserves free groceries.
