We’re United Way’s No. 1 Global Corporate Leader

June 29, 2021

For the 2nd year in a row, we’ve been named United Way’s No. 1 Global Corporate Leader.  

During our most recent workplace campaign, you and your co-workers pledged $37.8 million to United Way with Publix Super Market Charities committing an additional $24.5 million, bringing the total contribution to $62.3 million. 

The total contribution is being distributed among the 109 local United Ways in our 7-state operating area of Florida, Georgia, Alabama, Tennessee, South Carolina, North Carolina and Virginia. The contributions will advance local United Way efforts to improve the health and wellness of individuals, early education, and financial stability in the communities we serve. 

“In a year that was challenging for so many, I’m proud of you for continuing to lead with giving hearts and supporting your neighbors in need,” said CEO Todd Jones. “For more than 40 years, associates have committed to building stronger communities through donations made during our annual United Way campaign, and this year was no exception. We’re honored to once again be recognized as United Way’s No. 1 Global Corporate Leader.”   

"The support Publix provides United Way helps build stronger communities, and we are grateful for their generosity," said Suzanne McCormick, U.S. President at United Way Worldwide. "The last year was incredibly challenging, and I want to recognize their critical support during an unprecedented time. Not only were Publix associates serving customers daily, but they also provided vaccinations, helping protect the most vulnerable. During it all, Publix associates gave back so generously to their local United Ways. We are honored to recognize Publix once again as our top corporate supporter."
