Winn-Dixie Donating Profits to Wounded Warriors Project on July 4th

On Saturday, Winn-Dixie has chosen to honor Independence Day by honoring those who sacrificed for us and our freedom.

On July 4, 2015, every cent of every dollar of profit Winn-Dixie makes will be donated to Wounded Warrior Project (WWP).

This isn't the first time Winn-Dixie has teamed up with WWP. In the past, they've sold specially wrapped 24-packs of Winn-Dixie brand spring water and purified water featuring the WWP logo and donated a portion of the proceeds to the military and veterans charity service organization.

Ian McLeod, CEO and President of Southern Grocers said,

Winn-Dixie, BI-LO and Harveys operate in states with some of the highest Active Duty military populations in the United States. While we recognize on Memorial Day those soldiers who paid the supreme sacrifice and give thanks to those who have served on Veterans Day, the sacrifice and needs of those who are severely injured visibly or invisibly is not necessarily fully understood. I am honored that we are running this program and am thankful to the military men and women and their families for their service and sacrifice.

We believe we all have a responsibility to care and contribute to the lives of those who have served and sacrificed for the nation.

Simply by shopping at BI-LO, Harveys and Winn-Dixie on Independence Day, customers will help support those who serve and sacrifice for our nation. The more customers shop, the more they donate. Other ways in which customers can support the cause include:

• By donating generously during checkout between Wednesday and Sunday July 1-5.
• By proudly wearing the “I Donated” sticker that cashiers will hand out on July 4 to all customers to encourage friends and family to do the same.
• By liking, following and sharing BI-LO, Harveys and Winn-Dixie Facebook posts and Twitter feeds with #AllForHonor.
• By honoring a veteran or service member by posting a dedication on a special Facebook Page.
