Publix to Distribute $3.7M to Southeastern Non-Profits from Food For All® 2015 Fundraiser

LAKELAND, Fla.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Publix Super Markets, Inc. will distribute a total of $3.73 million from
its Food For All® 2015 fundraiser to non-profit organizations across its
southeastern footprint. The annual event distributes funds to support
programs that fight hunger and advocate for self-sufficiency on a local
and regional level.

This year, the campaign funded more than 175 charities across the
Southeast.

“The Food For All fundraiser is an important way for Publix to target
hunger at the point of need — especially in the communities where our
stores are located. Each year our customers and associates rally in an
amazing way during this campaign and to them we say, ‘Thank you,’” said
Maria Brous, Publix director of media and community relations.

The Food For All campaign took place Dec. 3-24, 2015. Publix customers
and associates contributed to the campaign by purchasing contribution
coupons in $1, $3, or $5 amounts that were scanned during the checkout
process and added to the 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 campaign.

“We are honored to help facilitate this important Food For All
fundraiser with Publix,” said Dave McConnell, president and CEO of
making change. “Through this campaign Publix is helping the communities
it serves and those in need. This is an important display of Publix’s
commitment to corporate citizenship.”
