Publix Super Markets, Inc. is distributing more than $1.4 million from its 2018 Food For All® fundraiser to 69 Georgia, Alabama and Tennessee area nonprofit agencies. The annual event raises funds to support community nonprofits with a focus on hunger-relief and self-sufficiency at a local and regional level.

“For more than two decades Publix customers and associates have generously supported our annual Food For All campaign,” said Brenda Reid, Publix media and community relations manager, Atlanta division. “This year we’re so pleased to distribute grants to 69 area nonprofit organizations whose outstanding programs are helping to transform the communities in which we live and work.”

During the 2.5-week campaign, October 25-November 10, 2018, “Give Hope” themed boards were displayed at register areas, where Publix customers and associates supported the campaign with a $1, $3, or $5 donation. The selected coupon denominations were scanned during checkout by a Publix associate and added to their purchase total. Food For All is a program of Making Change®, a 501(c)(3) charitable organization that has partnered with Publix since 1988 to create a successful holiday season campaign.

“Making Change is honored to help facilitate the annual Publix Food For All fundraiser, and every year Publix customers and associates show incredible generosity,” said Dave McConnell, president and CEO of Making Change. “We commend Publix’s commitment to their communities and their support of hundreds of self-sufficiency and hunger-relief nonprofit agencies throughout the southeastern United States.”
