Food Lion Design Contest Gets Kids to ‘Roar Against Hunger’

Food Lion is inviting children ages 5-14 to take part in its Food Lion Feeds "Roar Against Hunger" Design-a-Reusable-Bag Contest through Nov. 21. The winning entry will appear on next year's Food Lion Feeds reusable bag, which will be available at all of the grocer's stores in June 2015. The campaign aims to help provide 1 million meals to needy families.

Contest participants must draw how they would help feed a hungry person, and can show how everyone in the community is able to help. As well as having his or her drawing featured on the 2015 reusable bag, the grand-prize winner will receive an iPad Mini2 and a $1,000 donation to a food bank in his or her name. Three runners-up will each receive an iPad Mini and a $1,000 donation to a food bank in their names.
