He is also passionate about making a difference in the community. He and other associates are recognized as vital to the towns and cities they serve, supporting community events and engaging in volunteer opportunities with community feeding partners.
“Toby consistently represents Food Lion’s brand, strategy and culture every day while leading with humor and putting customers first,” said Scott Libbey, Vice President, of Central Division, Food Lion in a release. “He creates an inclusive environment where all have one common vision, and he empowers each of his associates to grow both personally and professionally.”
