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 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,” said Steven C. Smith, Food City president and chief executive officer.
Now through Dec. 31, customers are invited to make a $1, $3 or $5 contribution as they checkout at area Food City locations. 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,” said Kevin Stafford, Food City vice president 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,” Smith added.
Overall, last year’s effort brought in $514,764 and 96,245 pounds of food, which provided more than 1,624,496 meals to those in need.
