Habitat and Food Lion Join Forces

Fluvanna County Habitat for Humanity is participating in the Food Lion “Shop and Share” fund raising program.

The local chapter of Habitat for Humanity is working on its tenth house and "funds are always needed,” explained President Gladys Albright.  “Even though the houses are built by volunteers, funds are needed for land, permits, inspections, equipment rental, insurances and building materials.”

People can “link” their MVP card to Fluvanna County Habitat for Humanity, and Food Lion will make a donation to Habitat every time they shop.  Donations are based on the grocery purchase total and do not affect regular MVP discounts. 

To sign up for this program or for further information, call Sharon at 434-589-4994 or sign up on the internet by going to www.foodlion.com.  It costs you nothing to sign up, but each time you shop you will be helping Habitat to fulfill their goal of eliminating substandard housing in Fluvanna County.
