The Johnson County Senior Center has received $3,500 from the Food Lion Feeds Charitable Foundation to help feed local neighbors in their time of need. The Senior Center will reportedly use the gift to purchase and distribute frozen meals each week to the most in need seniors in Johnson County. Center Director Kathy Motsinger said that meals are being delivered all over the county from Trade to Butler and even Shady Valley.

“We are so grateful to Food Lion Feeds for their financial support for this endeavor,” she said. “We started this program when COVID-19 broke out. We have served over 80 individuals weekly with this program but have reduced the frozen meal deliveries to 40 at this time because of funding. With this grant donation, we can continue the frozen meal deliveries until the end of August."
