 No time is better spent than in the service of a fellow man with a helping hand. Greetings, I am Ny'Asia Leek, a junior social work student hailing from your North Carolina, and I gracefully serve as Miss Elizabeth City State University 2019-2020. In 2017, Food Lion received the Outstanding Partnership Award for its long-standing partnership with the CIAA, impacting local towns through scholarship, jobs, and nurturing families facing food insecurity. Inspired by the CIAA, ECSE opened our very own Viking Care Food Pantry in 2018. Since its opening, the Food Pantry has assisted students and the greater Elizabeth City community. In addition to students and the community, the Food Pantry has also assisted the local chapter of the American Red Cross with its community. Supplying food to families greatly impacted by last year's hurricane season. Food Lion Feed believes in investing in honoring those who work toward ending hunger. One in eight people struggle with hunger in the United States. 130,000 veterans are homeless and hungry. Food Lion Feed aims to feed 1 billion more meals by 2025. What will you do to help? Help Elizabeth City State University and the Food Bank of the Albemarle by voting me, Nia Angelou, as Miss CIAA 2020. The queen with the most online vote will receive $2,500 for her university's local food pantry. Vote for me, Miss Elizabeth City State University, as we dunk from hunger together. A vote for me is a vote for the harbor of hospitality. Viking proud.
