“We’re committed to giving back to the communities we operate in and we take the education of our youth very seriously, said Steven C. Smith, Food City president and CEO. “Our Food City School Bucks Program is an easy, cost effective way for area schools to gain the dollars needed to purchase vital education equipment and tools.”
Food City pledged a total of $600,000 in contributions fro the previous school year. The amount awarded to each school is based upon the percentage of total purchases made by the customers assigned to that school.
These schools are scheduled to receive a total of $22,434.33 from last year’s program. According to the Food City website, they will be donating $600,000 in cash through the program again for the 2011 - 2012 school year as well.
“Food City has always been an industry leader in supporting the education of our youth and we’re very excited to be awarding area schools with the funds from last year’s Food City School Bucks Program,” commented Ron Bonacci, vice president of marketing for Food City.
The 2011 - 2012 program began September 11 and will continue through April 22, 2012. Like last year, students will be supplied with a bar-coded number to provide to their friends and family members.
When scanned during the initial check-out process, the bar-code alerts the system of the corresponding school to credit with purchases from that point forward.
