Much like the company’s trademark logo, the annual Publix Serves Week has a “green” focus. 

From now through April 27, nearly 7,500 Publix associates are volunteering with organizations that support environmental sustainability efforts to protect our natural resources.

“We are committed to environmental sustainability year-round and are excited to have launched Publix Serves Week and our inaugural Good Together environmental campaign, making it easy for customers and associates to give back,” said Publix CEO Kevin Murphy. “We want to meet today’s needs while being mindful of what’s essential for tomorrow. Each of our volunteers and every donation made at checkout make a difference.”

Publix associates will be working with both the National Park Foundation and the National Audubon Society to remove invasive trees and shrubs. This will help restore freshwater flow and increase the amount of clean water to surrounding communities. Publix will also support coral reef restoration, as well as reforestation efforts with the Arbor Day Foundation.

Customers have an opportunity to support and expand these initiatives with donations at the checkout registers. The Publix Good Together Campaign will be accepting contributions through April 28.
