Food Lion Community Rewards

Athelas is pleased to announce that we remain a registed charity at Food Lion Supermarkets. 

If you have a FoodLion MVP card, please help us receive funds from FoodLion by listing Athelas as the charity you wish to support.  You can do this by logging on and designating Athelas (252237) as your chosen charity.  If you don't have a card, stop by customer service and fill out an application.

Have the cashier scan your MVP card every time you shop.  It's free and no MVP sale items need be purchased for your purchase to qualify.  This is a great way for you to get discounts on your groceries and help the individuals that Athelas serves at the same time!

GiveBackAmerica.org is an online shopping mall created to raise money for local charities.  The concept is simple, every time you shop online from your favorite online retailer (i.e.  Target, Expedia, Macy's, Blockbuster, Amazon, Drugstore.com, Ebay), a percentage of each purchase goes to your favorite charity, all at no extra cost to you, the supporter.
