At Publix, we see our community as an extension of our family, and it’s part of our culture to take care of each other. That’s why we are committed to helping end hunger and giving back, just as our founder, George Jenkins, 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. This year, we’ve expanded the program to include more than 4,000 additional products for donation. Since 2009, Publix has donated more than 950 million pounds of food to nonprofits through this program. In part, due to these efforts and more, Publix is recognized as a Feeding America Visionary Partner.
• Good Together hunger campaign. In 2021, we launched our biannual Good Together hunger campaign (formerly known as Feeding More Together). Customer donations provide nonperishable and additional perishable food needed most by 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 weekly volunteer events every year so our associates get together in their communities to carry on George Jenkins’ legacy of supporting our neighbors. Since 2015, Publix Serves has united our associates in community service efforts. During our Publix Serves Week in September, over 7,000 associates volunteered at nearly 150 organizations focused on ending hunger. Throughout the week, associates spent time preparing meals, sorting produce, boxing food and doing good, together.
