(Asheville, NC) On Wednesday, June 29th World Wrestling Entertainment Superstars and Hall of Fame Members will join Ingles Markets and Eblen Charities for the Second Annual Headlock on Hunger Food Drive to benefit the Ingles / Eblen Food for Thought Program sponsored by Ingles Markets, iHeart Media, the Asheville Citizen-Times, and Eblen Charities to help ensure that no student in our community faces the school day with hunger.
The hall of fame broadcaster and former World Wrestling Entertainment Executive Vice-President and current Fox Sports commentator Jim Ross, and former world wrestling champion and WWE Hall of Famer Jimmy Garvin will be at the event collecting food and donations for Headlock on Hunger at the Ingles on Tunnel Road.

“We are excited and most grateful to Ingles, their vendors once again, as well as Jim, and Jimmy join us for Headlock on Hunger, not only lending their name but their time and effort to touch so many children and continue our fight against children’s hunger in our community” states Bill Murdock, executive director of Eblen Charities.
“I am honored to be a part of the Headlock on Hunger team and serve as the national chairman,” adds Jim Ross, “as there is nothing more important or rewarding than to help feed a child in need. Hunger will be pinned.”
