Last month, Publix Super Markets Charities (PSMC) announced it would donate $5 million to more than 240 nonprofit organizations — including Feeding America member food banks — focused on alleviating hunger across Publix’s operating area.

CEO & President Todd Jones and Senior Vice President of Retail Operations Kevin Murphy celebrated the announcement with associates who were volunteering at 11 nonprofit organizations.

Over the past four years, PSMC has contributed more than $17 million to hunger-related programs.

“For more than 50 years, we have been nourishing the communities in which Publix operates,” said President of Publix Super Markets Charities Carol Jenkins Barnett. “Through these efforts, we’ve supported the plight of the hungry and homeless, recognizing the importance of proper nutrition and the access to food.”
