For Black History Month, Southeastern Grocers is not only supporting nonprofits that aid minorities, but also honoring the achievements of 101-year-old Winn-Dixie associate Romay Davis.
In honor of Black History Month in February,
Southeastern Grocers Inc. (SEG) and its charitable arm, the SEG Gives Foundation, have rolled out a community donation program benefiting the Romay Davis Belonging, Inclusion and Diversity Grant Program. The grant program aids nonprofit organizations working toward racial equity and social justice, and addresses racial disparities in education, food insecurity and health care.
Through March 2, customers at all of the grocer’s Bi-Lo, Fresco y Más, Harveys Supermarket and Winn-Dixie stores can make donations to the program. Customers may round up their grocery bills at the register to help support organizations that serve minorities across SEG’s market area. The SEG Gives Foundation will contribute an additional $100,000 donation to the campaign total.
