Earlier today, Food City presented the Washington County, VA School System with 1 Million Labels for Education Points.  The points are redeemable for $12,000 in much needed educational tools and equipment.  The contribution will be distributed among the public elementary, middle and high schools throughout Washington County, VA.     

The Labels for Education Points were an incentive earned by Food City from Acosta Sales and Marketing and their vendor partners like Campbell’s, one of the original sponsors of the program.

The funds are in addition to Food City’s annual School Bucks contributions, which were also presented to participating Washington County Schools earlier this week and totaled more than $17,000.

“We were very excited to receive such a large number of Labels for Education points from Acosta and our vendor partners.  If you’ve ever clipped labels, you know they’re typically worth one point each.  To receive this many points at one time was a great Christmas present that we were excited to pass along to assist our area schools.”  - Israel O’Quinn, Food City Director of Strategic Initiatives
