Lidl Holds Kids Drawing Competition To Benefit McLean Food Bank

MCLEAN, VA — Lidl is holding a drawing competition for children at its new McLean store as part of a benefit for the SHARE of McLean food bank.

Starting Wednesday, children can participate in the drawing competition, with a chance to win a $100 Lidl gift card. A table has been set up inside the store with competition details and supplies for children to use.

The grocery store is encouraging children to draw their favorite Lidl products, fruits and vegetables, or what’s in their lunchbox. The store wants the kids to get creative in coming up with ideas for the drawing competition.

Once the competition closes on Wednesday, Aug. 3, Lidl will narrow down the entries and ask McLean community members to vote for their favorite piece of art.

Voting will take place in person at the McLean store from Aug. 4 to Aug. 8. The store will have ballot boxes set up at the table with the finalists’ drawings attached. Community members can cast their vote for one of the finalists using voting slips provided at the store.

The child who receives the most votes for their drawing will receive a $100 Lidl gift card

For each vote received, Lidl will donate $1 to the SHARE of McLean food bank.

Lidl celebrated the grand opening of its new grocery store in McLean on June 1. The new McLean store was Lidl's 34th store in Virginia. Lidl, owned by Arlington-based Lidl US, invested $10 million in the McLean site.
