We’re donating fresh produce to 34 Feeding America partner food banks for Thanksgiving

Nov. 22, 2023

As the Thanksgiving holiday approaches, we’re purchasing and delivering more than 1.3 million pounds of fresh produce to 34 Feeding America partner food banks. This donation of fruits and vegetables is meant to help put nutritious food on the tables of people facing hunger during the holiday.  

These donations are part of our commitment through our biannual Feeding More Together register campaign. Each year, we donate $10 million to purchase and deliver produce to Feeding America partner food banks. Customer donations provide shelf-stable and additional perishable food for local food banks and pantries. In 2023 alone, we’ve donated more than 21 million pounds of produce to Feeding America partner food banks.

“At this time of year, while so many of us are sitting around a table filled with food, millions of Americans aren’t as fortunate,” said CEO Todd Jones. “During this season of thanks, we’re grateful for the opportunity to provide fresh produce to families in need. At Publix, we’re committed to doing good, together to help alleviate hunger during the holidays and every day.”  ###
