CELEBRITY BLOGGERS PITCH IN FOR FOOD DRIVE

Mom & food bloggers join effort as celebrity cashiers

"Lowes Foods’ annual food drive, Friends Feeding Friends, which runs through December 31, 2011. Lowes Foods will be collecting food donations in all of their stores across North Carolina, South Carolina and Virginia. These donations will be delivered to local food banks in the areas in which they are collected."

WINSTON-SALEM, NC (December 9, 2011)— Tweets and posts are powerful communication
tools in today's world. That's why Lowes Foods has enlisted the help of North and South
Carolina bloggers to make its 17th annual Friends Feeding Friends food drive an even bigger success.

From December 12 through December 15, locally based, nationally recognized Mom and Food
bloggers will be ringing up purchases at Lowes Food stores in Boone, Cary, Myrtle Beach,
Raleigh, Walkertown, Wilmington and Winston-Salem.

"Social media is an important news and information channel for grocery stores and consumers
alike," said Lisa Selip, director of marketing for Lowes Foods. "These bloggers already share so
much information on food, nutrition and savings, it seemed like a natural fit to involve them."
