Earlier today, Food City officials presented a check totaling $10,000 to the United Way of Greater Chattanooga.  The check presentation took place at the Red Bank Food City, following the store’s grand reopening remodel celebration.

“Food City is proud to be a long standing United Way corporate partner,” said Mickey Blazer, Executive Vice President of Store Operations for Food City’s Knoxville and Chattanooga divisions.  “United Way is making great strides in improving education, health, financial stability and support – and contributions remain local and benefit our friends and neighbors throughout our community.”

Food City also recently partnered with United Way of Greater Chattanooga to host their first annual Celebrity Bagging event in the Chattanooga market area.  The event raised over $16,000 to benefit the Woodmore families impacted by the recent tragic bus accident.
