KNOXVILLE, TN (WLAF) – Food City officials will be awarding proceeds from a nearly month long campaign to Project Help representatives tomorrow at its Middlebrook Pike Food City. A check for more than $50,000 will be presented in the 9am ceremony.

For more than 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 5th to February 1st in Knoxville area Food City 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 and associates, this year’s Project Help campaign raised a total of $53,386. (WLAF NEWS PUBLISHED – 04/19/2022-6AM)
