Southeastern Grocers Inc., parent company and home of Fresco y Más, Harveys Supermarket and Winn-Dixie grocery stores, together with the SEG Gives Foundation, is holding a “Military Monday” matching commitment.
Each Monday through July 4, the grocer’s charitable arm will further support its Folds of Honor community donation program by matching weekend in-store donations, up to $100,000 each Monday.
The enlistment of matching on “Military Mondays” and the funds raised throughout the program will help Folds of Honor in its mission to provide educational scholarships to the children and spouses of America’s fallen and disabled service members.
“At Southeastern Grocers, we are dedicated to supporting the communities we serve, especially those who serve us,” said Raymond Rhee, chief people officer for Southeastern Grocers. “By doubling down on all in-store Folds of Honor donations with a matching commitment, we are paying it forward to the legacies of the brave men and women who made the ultimate sacrifice with their service to our country.”
Customers can have their donations doubled on these select Mondays when they donate $1, $5 or round up their total grocery bill to the nearest dollar at checkout in support of U.S. military personnel. Customers can also continue to donate any day of the week through July 5.
Every cent raised will help Folds of Honor provide private education tuition and tutoring for children in grades K-12, along with higher education tuition assistance for spouses and dependents.
Southeastern Grocers and the SEG Gives Foundation, together with customers and associates, have donated more than $5.5 million to Folds of Honor since 2018, which has allocated more than 1,100 educational scholarships to the children and spouses of U.S. military members.
Since 2007, Folds of Honor has awarded approximately 35,000 educational scholarships to spouses and children of America’s fallen and disabled service members.
