For the past 20 years, Food City has been proud to host their annual Project Help campaign to provide heating assistance to local residents in need during the cold weather season.

The promotion, which is cosponsored by Project Help ran from January 6th to February 2nd in Knoxville area locations.  During the campaign, shoppers were invited to make a dollar contribution at the check-out to help their friends and neighbors in need.

Thanks to the support and generosity of loyal Food City customers, this year’s Project Help campaign raised a total of $53,445. (WLAF NEWS PUBLISHED – 03/12/2021-10AM)
