The United Way is collaborating with Food City for the 19th annual Celebrity Bagging event on November 25, 2025. This initiative aims to support the United Way’s annual fundraising campaign, benefiting local human service programs. The event is scheduled to run from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. at various Food City locations, including those in Elizabethton.

Local celebrities from across the region are volunteering to assist with the event by bagging groceries. This unique opportunity allows shoppers to engage with well-known personalities while contributing to a worthy cause. Customers can donate to the United Way at checkout by placing their contributions in collection containers or by opting to add their donation to their grocery total.

The funds raised during this event will directly support the United Way’s member agencies, which address critical community needs. The organization plays a vital role in allocating resources to tackle pressing human service issues, making a significant impact on the lives of individuals and families in the area.

Strong community support is essential for the success of the Celebrity Bagging event. The United Way encourages residents to participate not only by shopping but also by donating generously. Every contribution, regardless of size, helps reinforce the organization’s mission to improve lives and strengthen communities.

As the event date approaches, the United Way and Food City are excited to see community members come together for this festive occasion. It promises to be a day filled with fun, engagement, and philanthropy, all while supporting the greater good.
