On Tuesday, November 26, 2024, a team from Bluefield University volunteered at the Food City store in Bluefield, Virginia, as part of the 18th annual Celebrity Bagging Event. The United Way of Southwest Virginia organized the event to raise funds for their ongoing campaigns supporting health, education, and financial stability in the region.
Running from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. at various Food City locations, the Celebrity Bagging Event featured local volunteers and community figures assisting shoppers by bagging groceries. Shoppers could donate directly at checkout through collection containers or by contributing to their grocery total.
Bluefield University is committed to community service. All proceeds went to the United Way’s efforts to make a difference in Southwest Virginia.
