Southeastern Grocers, LLC (SEG), parent company and home of Harveys Supermarket and Winn-Dixie, together with its generous customers, is donating $107,750 to eight leading children’s hospitals across the Southeast, demonstrating the grocer’s ongoing commitment to supporting local children and their families.
As part of this initiative, SEG partnered with Roc Solid Foundation to create a customized backyard playset for one special oncology patient and her family, providing a safe, joyful space for play as she continues her recovery journey.
This month, Harveys Supermarket and Winn-Dixie customers rallied behind their local communities by donating $1, $5 or rounding up their grocery bills at checkout. Every cent raised through this community donation program will directly benefit critical hospital initiatives, from family-centered care and therapeutic programs to innovative research, child advocacy and other life-changing services.
Guided by a commitment to make meaningful impact where it matters most, SEG partnered with the following eight children’s hospitals, including Wolfson Children’s Hospital.
In a heartfelt extension of this commitment, SEG recently partnered with Roc Solid Foundation to build a personalized playset for a 4-year-old patient of Nicklaus Children’s Hospital recovering from medulloblastoma, a cancerous brain tumor. Due to weakened immune systems, pediatric cancer patients are often unable to use public playgrounds. A private backyard playset offers not only a safe environment to play, but a meaningful opportunity for families to create lasting memories together.
Through its partnership with Roc Solid Foundation, SEG has helped build five playsets for young patients at its stores in Jacksonville, Miami, New Orleans and Tampa.
