Publix has been named United Way’s No. 1 Global Corporate Leader.

For more than 40 years, you’ve shown your commitment to improving the early education, financial stability, and health and wellness of individuals in the communities we serve by supporting our annual United Way campaign. In 2019, associates pledged $38.6 million to United Way with Publix Super Markets Charities committing another $25 million, bringing the total to $63.6 million. The donation supports 109 local United Ways in Florida, Georgia, Alabama, Tennessee, South Carolina, North Carolina and Virginia.  

“We’re honored to be recognized as United Way’s No. 1 Global Corporate Leader,” said CEO Todd Jones. “Mr. George believed in the benefit of giving to United Way because the funds raised support the critical needs of the community through local agencies. I’m proud of the way you continue the legacy of giving Mr. George exemplified.”

“Publix and its associates share United Way’s belief in building strong communities, which is why it’s no surprise to see Publix become our largest corporate donor,” said Brian Gallagher, President and CEO of United Way Worldwide. “On behalf of everyone at United Way, I want to thank Publix for being incredible community citizens.”
