Publix donates 3 million pounds of produce to Louisville food bank.
On June 23, 2022, Publix broke ground on its first store in Louisville, Kentucky, located at the northwest corner of Terra Crossing Boulevard and Old Henry Road in Jefferson County. Kentucky is Publix’s eighth state of operation.
Immediately following the groundbreaking, Publix leaders and associates held a Publix Serves event at Dare to Care, a Feeding America® partner food bank in Louisville, to unload and sort 40,000 pounds of produce donated by the company. Launched in 2015, Publix Serves is one of Publix’s community programs uniting the company’s more than 255,000 associates in community service efforts.
Since fall 2021, Publix has provided biweekly produce donations to Dare to Care. The nonprofit organization partners with local social service agencies, food pantries, shelters and emergency kitchens to provide food to the surrounding community. Publix’s contributions provided Dare to Care with more than 3 million pounds of produce for its neighbors in need.
“We’re grateful for the support Publix has provided to the residents of Louisville, and we appreciate the company’s passion for helping its neighbors facing hunger. …We look forward to continuing to build this great relationship to help alleviate hunger in our communities, and we’re excited to welcome Publix to the Bluegrass State.”
