Individualized plans are created with goals to provide a future with purpose at no cost to the warriors or their support teams.
“We believe we all have a responsibility to care and contribute to the lives of those who have served and sacrificed for the nation, which is why we are committing every cent of every dollar of profit generated this Independence Day across all of our Winn-Dixie stores to help support the Wounded Warrior Project’s Independence Program,” said Ian McLeod, CEO and president of Southeastern Grocers, parent company of Winn-Dixie grocery stores.. “We felt it is the right thing to do, and our associates do, too.”
Simply by shopping at Winn-Dixie on Independence Day, customers will help support those who serve and sacrifice for our nation. Donations can also be made at checkout through July 5.
