Whicker noted that Food Lion Feeds donated more than 800 pounds of non-perishable food for the backpack program including items such as cans of ravioli, spaghetti and meatballs, chicken noodle soup, beans and wieners, tuna, macaroni and cheese, peanut butter crackers, toaster pastries, applesauce and fruit bars. Hawks and Gentry principal Brandon Whitaker were thrilled to see the large amount of food delivered by the Food Lion employees. She was assisted by Baugess and several other local Food Lion store managers and regional representatives. She is thankful for the help she received from Marty Baugess, store manager of the Food Lion on West Lebanon Street in Mount Airy, who helped guide her through the process.Д«augess said his desire to help the students at Gentry Middle School stems from knowing how important providing food for children on the weekends is вЂ“ a time when school meals are not provided.ДЇood Lion representative Kathy Whicker organized the delivery of the food items to Gentry on March 8.

GentryвЂ™s school counselor, Celeste Hawks, had applied for this donation earlier in the year. Gentry Middle SchoolвЂ™s Food Backpack program received a generous donation from the Food Lion Feeds program earlier this month
