The sun shines bright, the fruit tastes sweet and the open road to our next destination calls your name. It’s one of the most wonderful times of the year. It’s summertime.

In this issue, you’ll learn how to stay safe in the sun and what fruit can keep you hydrated. Make sure to bookmark the article where we walk you through a pre-storm checklist so you’re prepared for something you can’t control — storms. You’ll also get to know one of our Charlotte Division regional directors, Felix Allen.

Next, cozy up and read a feel-good story about one of our compassionate associates who has a heart of gold. And then, get pumped with fitness discounts just for being a Publix associate. We’ll also introduce you to a father-son duo who are both dedicated Publix truck drivers and give you a recap of our newest program to help alleviate hunger, Feeding More Together.

For your next stop, see what’s happening around Publix — our register campaign to support Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals and great chef-inspired options in our meat department, Aprons Meals for One.
