NEWPORT-Food City Stores continue to be active
in community works such as Relay For Life. Both Food City East and West were
wildly successful in raising money for Relay For Life from customer donations
for sundials.
The sundials were taped to the windows of both stores
in memory of those who either lost their lives to or overcame cancer.
Food City West Manager Robert Huff said, "We
would like to thank the customers for their support." Food City East
Manager Kevin Holcomb said, "The customers really stepped up. There were
no motivating factors to it other than they just wanted to donate."
Both stores raised more than $4,000 from donations for
the sundials. Gas 'N Go manager Linda Worth said, "People don't realize
what they (KVAT Food City Stores) do for the community." Worth added,
"If it wasn't for our store managers we wouldn't be able to accomplish our
goals." Regarding the Relay For Life program and the American Cancer
Society, Worth said, "Nearly everyone you've talked with has experienced
or knows someone with cancer."
One member of Worth's Relay For Life team is a
seven-year survivor of breast cancer.
