Food City Check Presentation to United Way of Ocoee Region
Abingdon, VA. - Tuesday, Oct 13, 2026.

Food City® is proud to continue our support of United Way of the Ocoee Region with today’s check presentation totaling $15,000 in support of the William Hall Rodgers Christmas Fund. 

 

The William Hall Rodgers Christmas Fund is an original in Cleveland’s philanthropic scene. Dating to the depression-era, this program was established to help neighbors in need and has continued through the decades as a source of goodwill during the holiday season. This free resource facilitated by United Way of the Ocoee Region is available to all Bradley and Polk County residents.
