ROCK HILL, S.C. – The Children’s Attention Home received a generous contribution of $2,000 from the Food Lion Feeds Charitable Foundation to help feed the children they serve and educate them in healthy eating and good nutrition.

“This gift is such a blessing to us,” expressed the Home’s Executive Director, Debra Eident. “The support of the Food Lion Feeds Charitable Foundation will not only help with feeding our children well, but also teaching them the importance of healthy eating habits.”
