JACKSONVILLE, FL - Southeastern Grocers (SEG), parent company and home of Harveys Supermarket and Winn-Dixie, together with the SEG Gives Foundation, reflects on a year marked by impactful contributions to its communities and prestigious industry achievements recognizing its people and products.

SEG has donated more than $4 million to support its communities, focusing on disaster relief, food insecurity, health and wellbeing and support for military families, a press release shared. This includes nurturing local store partnerships to strengthen communities and help neighbors thrive. Moreover, SEG has earned 127 awards and recognitions from industry publications and organizations for its outstanding leadership and product excellence.

Anthony Hucker, President and CEO of Southeastern Grocers, said, “Our passionate efforts this year are more than just numbers; they are a testament to our deep-rooted commitment to the communities we serve and our unwavering dedication to making a significant impact where it’s needed most. Each contribution and accolade is a step forward in our journey to not only be a leading grocer but a pivotal community supporter. At SEG, we believe our role extends beyond selling groceries—we are a committed neighbor, dedicated to making a meaningful difference in every life we touch. Our achievements this year, both in leadership and in the excellence of our brands, reflect our pledge to not just serve, but to truly enrich our communities.”

As a grocer in one of the most food-insecure regions in the U.S., SEG is dedicated to nourishing its neighbors and ensuring access to essential food resources through its long-standing partnership with Feeding America®. SEG and the SEG Gives Foundation have provided more than $1 million in monetary and product donations to combat hunger this year. Additionally, the grocer has spearheaded over 30 mobile food pantry events throughout the year, offering localized support in some of its most high-risk communities.

With a heartfelt commitment to disaster relief, SEG contributed nearly $600,000 in 2024 to help impacted neighbors, including significant support to its partner, the American Red Cross. In the wake of Hurricane Helene, SEG quickly activated a mobile pantry event in Madeira Beach to distribute essential food and cleaning supplies, and collaborated with iHeart Radio to boost further donations. Continuing its compassionate efforts just two weeks later following Hurricane Milton, SEG held events in Sarasota and St. Petersburg, distributing gift cards and crucial relief supplies to help families replenish their essential needs.

In partnership with the SEG Gives Foundation, SEG reinforced its dedication to local communities through substantial charitable contributions throughout 2024. The grocer donated $320,000 to eight children’s hospitals throughout the Southeast, supporting the health and healing of pediatric patients. Additionally, SEG contributed $170,000 to the American Cancer Society Making Strides Against Breast Cancer initiative. The grocer also continued its strong support for military families by donating $550,000 to Folds of Honor, providing 110 educational scholarships for the children and spouses of fallen and disabled service members. This effort is part of the grocer’s larger commitment with donations totaling more than $8 million since 2018. Furthermore, the fifth year of SEG’s Romay Davis Belonging, Inclusion and Diversity Grant awarded $487,500 to 50 nonprofit organizations, aiding their efforts to foster a more equitable future.
