The holiday season is here. As we enjoy the time and traditions with our families, let’s think about all there is to be proud of and grateful for. While it has been a challenging year, our Publix family stands strong — thanks to you.

You make a difference in our stores, our communities and the lives of others. You may have done that by lending a helping hand, brightening someone’s day with your interactions, providing a recommendation to turn a meal into a special moment or even administering COVID-19 vaccine doses. I could give so many more examples, but what the Publix difference comes down to is that we do all of this and more because we’re Publix. And as a family, we care for each other.

We continue to support one another, come together and celebrate successes. So, as you reflect on this special time of year and think about your loved ones, accomplishments and Publix family, I hope you know I’m grateful for and proud of all we have accomplished, together.

Thanks for all you do.
