Publix activates register campaign supporting storm relief
Publix Super Markets Charities (PSMC) is donating $1 million to support relief efforts in areas affected by Hurricane Milton.
Publix is also activating a companywide donation campaign so customers and associates can help people affected by the storm. Donations may be made in any amount at checkout. The campaign’s end date will be based on customer response.
The contributions from PSMC and the register campaign will support nonprofit organizations, including the American Red Cross, United Way and the Florida Fund, enabling them to help people recover from this disaster.
“Our thoughts are with the people who have been affected by Hurricane Milton. This destructive storm made its way across Florida as many people were still recovering from Hurricane Helene,” said Publix CEO Kevin Murphy. “I’m grateful to Publix Super Markets Charities for their continued support and donation to help people in one of their greatest times of need. I’m also proud of our over 255,000 associates who continue to show their dedication to caring for our customers, our communities and each other.”
