Publix Collects Funds For Red Cross Hurricane Relief Efforts

LAKELAND, Fla., Aug. 31, 2005 -  Today Publix Super Markets established a program to offer its customers and associates a way to directly help those areas affected by Hurricane Katrina and other hurricanes throughout this hurricane season. Customers may donate any amount they choose by adding it to their grocery totals when checking out at Publix registers chainwide. All of the money collected will support the American Red Cross Disaster Relief Fund.

"Our customers and associates can help the victims of Katrina by making a financial gift to the American Red Cross Disaster Relief Fund, which enables the Red Cross to provide shelter, food, counseling and other assistance to those in need. We will continue the program for a few weeks, based on customer response," said Spokesperson Maria Brous.
