Winn-Dixie to donate all July 4th proceeds to Wounded Warrior Project

BI-LO said it would donate all profits earned on Independence Day to the Wounded Warrior Project. The first, for every cent of every dollar they make this Fourth of July, all proceeds will go to the project which helps our most severely wounded service members.

“On Memorial Day, we think back to those who gave the ultimate sacrifice”.

The company has announced its plan to donate all of Saturday’s profits from the stores to the Wounded Warrior Project’s Independence Program. “They are really glad that Winn-Dixie is doing this, and I’ve had a lot of veterans come in and shake our hands, and they’re signing our little Wounded Warrior board that we’ve got up here”.

Steven Nardizzi, chief executive of the Wounded Warrior Project, called Winn-Dixie’s effort “vital to our mission to honor and empower our Wounded Warriors, and Independence Day is the flawless time to celebrate”.

By liking, following and sharing BI-LO, Harveys and Winn-Dixie Facebook posts and Twitter feeds with #AllForHonor. “That’s why the Fourth of July especially, we need to take time, while we’re buying our groceries here at Winn-Dixie, to remember”.

He added that while he hopes the company will have other initiatives to help Wounded Warriors, the focus now is on having a successful All for Honor initiative.

“The promise we have made to injured servicemen and women is evident in the kindness from companies like Southeastern Grocers“, he added. WWP is a national, nonpartisan organization headquartered in Jacksonville, Florida.

It’s a huge commitment that is already attracting shoppers to stores across five states, for all the right reasons.

“We all have a responsibility to care and contribute to the lives of those that have served and sacrificed for our nation”, said Joey Medina, spokesperson for Winn-Dixie.
