March 1, 2022 – The Charlotte Hornets and Official Hunger Relief Partner Food Lion Feeds today are launching the 2022 Dunk Hunger food drive to benefit Second Harvest Food Bank of Metrolina. During the month of March, Food Lion will donate 1,000 meals* for every dunk recorded by the Hornets in both home and away games. According to Feeding America, North Carolina has the ninth-highest food insecurity rate in the country, and nearly one in seven people – including one in five children – struggle with hunger.
“We are proud to once again team with our friends at Food Lion Feeds and Second Harvest Food Bank to help fight hunger,” said Hornets Sports & Entertainment President & Vice Chairman Fred Whitfield.
