The coronavirus pandemic has created a significant hardship for many people. To provide food for those affected, Publix Super Markets Charities made two $1 million donations to Feeding America member food banks.

CEO Todd Jones recognized Publix Charities for the donation.

“During these unprecedented times that have affected nearly every aspect of our day-to-day lives, many people may not know where their next meal is coming from,” he said. “This donation will provide assistance to those impacted and help continue the work that Publix, Publix Charities and Feeding America do every day to alleviate hunger in the communities we serve.”

Leaders from Feeding America, which provides food to more than 46 million people through 60,000 food pantries and meal programs across America, thanked Publix Charities for the donation.

“Feeding America is thankful to Publix Super Markets Charities for its generous support of member food banks across the Southeast during this time of increased need,” said Feeding America Vice President of Corporate Partnerships Laura Biedron. “This generous donation will help food banks provide food and other essential supplies to people hardest hit by this pandemic.”

The donations from Publix Charities were allocated to Feeding America member food banks in our seven-state operating area. To learn more, visit publixcharities.org.
