Food City® is once again participating in WRCB-Local 3’s Share Your Christmas™ Food Drive to benefit the Chattanooga Area Food Bank. Share Your Christmas™ has benefitted local hunger relief programs throughout the region for over 40 years. 

“Food City® is proud to be a partner of Local 3’s Share your Christmas™ providing much-needed assistance to many of our friends and neighbors in need,” says Steven C. Smith, Food City® president and chief executive officer.

Beginning November 4th and continuing through December 31st, customers are invited to make a $1, $3 or $5 contribution as they checkout at area Food City® locations. Customers shopping online will also have the opportunity to make an online contribution. Specially marked collection containers are also available inside the store for those wishing to make non-perishable food donations. 100% of the proceeds benefit local hunger relief programs throughout the region.

“Millions of Americans need food assistance each year. Local 3’s Share Your Christmas™ is one way we can help those in need right here in our own community,” says Misty Deskins, Food City® senior director of marketing.

“Thanks to the support of our loyal customers and associates, last year’s program was a huge success, and we hope to raise even more this year,” says Smith. Last year’s campaign raised $463,904 and 154,110 pounds of food, providing 1,159,760+ meals for those in need.  

Headquartered in Abingdon, Virginia, K-VA-T Food Stores (Food City’s parent company) operates 163 retail outlets throughout southeast Kentucky, southwest Virginia, east Tennessee, north Georgia, and Alabama.
