Earlier today, Food City made a contribution in the amount of $50,000 to The Coolidge National Medal of Honor Heritage Center.

The Coolidge National Medal of Honor Heritage Center memorializes the history of our nation’s highest military award for valor, from the first medals in 1863 to the present, and educates the next generation of Americans about the character traits associated with the gallantry of Medal recipients. They aspire to become a national leader in educating Americans about the heroic deeds and noble character of those who have received our nation’s highest military award for valor – the Medal of Honor.
