At Publix, we consider the communities we serve an extension of our family, and it’s part of our culture to care for one another. As a grocery retailer, one of the biggest opportunities we have is to help end hunger in our communities. This is why we are committed to giving back, just as our founder inspired us to do.  

Our hunger-relief efforts include: 

• Good Together food donation program. Every day in stores, associates gather wholesome but unsalable grocery, deli, meat, seafood and produce items to give to food banks. In 2024, we expanded the program, donating more than 4,000 additional products. Since 2009, Publix has donated more than 1 billion pounds of food to Feeding America partner food banks and their partner agencies. For these efforts, Publix is recognized as a Feeding America Visionary Partner.

• Good Together hunger campaign. In 2021, we launched our biannual Good Together hunger campaign. Customer donations provide nonperishable food items and additional fresh produce to local food banks and pantries. During every campaign, Publix also donates $5 million to purchase and deliver fresh produce to Feeding America partner food banks. 

• Publix Serves Week. We hold 2 volunteer weeks every year. Since 2015, our associates have come together in their communities to carry on George Jenkins’ legacy of supporting our neighbors in need. During our Publix Serves Week in September, over 8,000 associates volunteered at nearly 150 organizations focused on ending hunger. Throughout the week, associates prepared meals, sorted produce and boxed food kits for distribution.
