Community
Winn-Dixie is dedicated to supporting the communities we serve and the causes that our customers care about. That is why we work to fight hunger and provide disaster relief in our communities. Learn more about our efforts below!
America's Heroes
In honor of the sacrifices made by military members and their families, we are proud to partner with Folds of Honor to provide scholarships to the families of injured or fallen military members. It is our way of showing gratitude for their honorable service. In 2019, we raised more than $1.2M which helped to provide more than 240 scholarships.
Disaster Relief
Through our 50-year long-standing partnership with the American Red Cross, we are able to respond immediately when a disaster strikes the Southeast. Both Hurricane Florence and Michael had a profound impact on our associates, customers, and stores. We were proud to be able to act immediately following each storm to offer relief to our communities.
Fighting Hunger
In the US, 41 million people struggle with hunger, with nearly 7 million of these adults and children living throughout the Southeast. That's 1 in 6 people in the Southeast who are food insecure, meaning they may not know where they will find their next meal. Fighting hunger is a cause we care passionately about, which is why we are proud of the longstanding relationship we have with our official Charity Partner, Feeding America. To date, through the Store Donation Program, more than 14,000,000 lbs. of food has been collected from stores and donated to local food banks.
We are dedicated to supporting the communities we serve and the causes that impact our customers. If you would like to request a donation, sponsorship, or wish to solicit we invite you to complete an application.
Winn-Dixie in the Community
Romay Davis Belonging, Inclusion and Diversity Grant Program
At Winn-Dixie, we are committed to a culture of belonging, and we take pride in being an inclusive environment where we celebrate differences. To help support the communities that we serve and battle the racial prejudice and social inequality in America, the charitable arm of Southeastern Grocers, the SEG Gives Foundation, has launched the Romay Davis Belonging, Inclusion and Diversity Grant Program. This program supports local nonprofit organizations and their work to serve diverse sectors and address racial disparities in health care, food insecurity and education. Organizations throughout the Southeast can apply for grants ranging from $5,000 to $25,000. All grantees and programs must operate within SEG’s footprint. The grant application period will open in July and grants will be awarded in October.
Everyone has a reason to give. Who’s yours?
Southeastern Grocers is proud to partner with the American Heart Association (AHA) to help raise much needed funds to fight heart disease and stroke. The Life Is Why We Give campaign unites us with our customers in a momentous effort to build healthier communities and enjoy more of life’s precious moments. Millions of people are at risk of suffering a heart attack or stroke. But your donation today will help fund innovative research for new treatments, provide programs and services for survivors and their families, and help more of our loved ones lower their risk.
