At Publix, we see our community as our extended family, and it’s part of our culture to take care of each other. As a grocery retailer, we feel our most significant opportunity to give back is to help our neighbors facing hunger.

During Hunger Action Month and throughout the year, here are just some of the ways we support our communities:

• Good Together food donation program. Every day in stores, associates gather grocery, deli, meat, seafood and produce items that are unsalable but safe to eat to give to food banks. In 2024, we expanded the program to include more than 4,000 additional products for donation. Since 2009, Publix has donated more than 1 billion pounds of food to nonprofits through this program. Because of our efforts, Publix is recognized as a Feeding America^® Visionary Partner.
• Good Together hunger campaign. In 2021, we launched the biannual Good Together hunger campaign (formerly known as Feeding More Together). Customer and associate donations at checkout provide nonperishable food items needed most by local food banks and pantries. During each campaign, Publix also donates $5 million in fresh produce to Feeding America partner food banks. The next campaign takes place Nov. 12 – 23.
• Publix Serves. Twice a year, Publix associates volunteer their time during Publix Serves Week to give back to their communities. During Hunger Action Month, associates volunteer their time and talents to help organizations focused on feeding our neighbors in need.

In addition to Publix’s efforts, Publix Super Markets Charities has donated nearly $70 million to Feeding America partner food banks and other nonprofit organizations since 2015 as part of its commitment to nourish our communities.
