Food City continues to serve the community with one current campaign and one recently completed.
Race Against Hunger
November 5 through December 2, scannable cards in denominations of $1, $3, and $5 will be available at each Food City checkout. Customers wishing to donate can select the desired dollar amount, which will be conveniently added to their grocery bill.
Since 1992, Food City, in partnership with its customers, has conducted an annual campaign, titled “Race Against Hunger,” to raise funds for local non-profit hunger relief organizations. The 2024-2025 campaign raised over $450,000.
“Hunger is a serious problem throughout our region. Food City is proud to be a part of the Race Against Hunger,” says Steven C. Smith, Food City’s president and chief executive officer.
All proceeds will benefit hunger relief and charitable organizations in our region.
