Boots and Badges- November 20th, 2016

Food Lion hosted a chili cook-off challenge to benefit the families of local fallen officers in the Gastonia area. Over $1,000 was raised and donated to the family of a fallen officer. The story was reported on over 10 media outlets and social media sites. A team from the local Police Department and Fire Department faced off in an on-stage chili cook off in front of a live audience made up of peers, supporters, and news media. Family friendly activities were outside for all to enjoy as they patiently waited to sample and vote for their favorite chili. The popularity of this event has opened the door for Food Lion to make this an annual event.
