Food City Kicks Off Annual Share Your Christmas Campaign
Abingdon, VA. - Monday, Nov 13, 2017.

Food City is teaming up with WRCB-TV Channel 3 Eyewitness News, Chattanooga Times Free Press, Chattanooga Area Food Bank and WUSY 101 Radio to host their holiday “Share your Christmas” campaign.  The annual fundraising drive benefits local hunger relief programs throughout our region.  

“Food City is proud to be a partner of the Share your Christmas project to provide 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 15th and continuing through December 26th, $1, $3, and $5 contribution cards are available upon checkout at area Food City locations.  Customers wishing to make a donation, simply select the desired dollar amount and it’s conveniently added to their order total.  Specially marked collection containers are also available inside select Food City locations for those wishing to make non-perishable food donations.  100% of the proceeds benefit  local hunger relief programs throughout our region.   

“Millions of Americans need food assistance each year.  The Share Your Christmas campaign is one way we can help those in need right here in our own area,” says Kevin Stafford, Food City vice president of marketing.

“Last year, the program was a huge success.  With the support of our loyal customers and associates, we hope to raise even more this year to aide this vital need,” says Smith.

 

Headquartered in Abingdon, Virginia, K-VA-T Food Stores (Food City’s parent company) operates 133 retail outlets throughout southeast Kentucky, southwest Virginia, east Tennessee, Chattanooga and north Georgia.
