In the wake of the devastation caused by the recent tornadoes in Middle Tennessee, Food City announced plans to team up with WCYB, WVLT and WTVC to host a fundraising campaign to benefit relief efforts. Food City also pledged a $10,000 contribution to kick off the drive.
“The lives of many of our friends and neighbors have been devastated by these tornadoes. We certainly want to do everything possible to provide assistance during this critical time,” said Steven C. Smith, Food City president and chief executive officer.
The campaign will run through Tuesday, March 10, in all Virginia, Tennessee and Georgia Food City locations. Customers wishing to participate can make a monetary donation at the checkouts. 100% of the funds raised will be allocated to the Cookeville-Putman County Tornado Relief Fund to assist with the relief efforts.
