Publix distributes Food For All donations to nonprofits
Publix will be distributing $382,000 from its Food For All 2017 fundraiser to 22 division nonprofit organizations. The Jacksonville, Fla.-based company’s annual campaign distributes funds to support programs that fight hunger and also advocate for self-sufficiency on a local and regional level.
“Our stores are pleased to participate in the annual Food For All fundraiser,” Dwaine Stevens, Publix media and community relations manager of the Jacksonville division, said. “Thanks to the generosity of our customers — and the enthusiasm of our associates — the campaign helps make a difference to so many in the communities we serve.”
During the three-week campaign, which ran from Nov. 1 to 22, the retailer’s customers and associates participated by adding a $1, $3 or $5 donation to their grocery bill. Coupon denominations were then scanned during checkout by a Publix associate and applied to the consumer's purchase total.
Food For All is a program of Making Change, which is a 501 charitable organization that has partnered with Publix since 1988 and worked on the campaign.
“Making Change is honored to be a part of the Publix Food For All fundraiser to help raise funds for local nonprofits year after year,” Dave McConnell, president and CEO of Making Change, said. “We applaud Publix for their continued dedication to helping support self-sufficiency and the fight to end hunger within their communities.”
