The donation is part of SEG’s ongoing partnership with Feeding America to help combat hunger across the Southeast.
For every download of the Harveys Supermarket or Winn-Dixie Rewards apps, SEG will donate $1 to Feeding America, up to $100,000. Each dollar provides 10 meals to families facing food insecurity. The company’s Rewards program, which offers exclusive savings, has been recognized in Newsweek’s list of America’s Best Loyalty Programs 2024.
“We know that no one can thrive on an empty stomach,” said Raymond Rhee, Chief People Officer for SEG. “As a local grocer, we believe it is our responsibility to nourish our communities and empower neighbors to live their happiest, healthiest lives.”
In addition to this pledge, SEG is donating an additional $70,000 to seven Feeding America partner food banks and hosting seven mobile food pantry events throughout September, distributing over 105,000 pounds of food. Feeding America’s Senior Vice President of Corporate Partnerships, Lauren Biedron, expressed gratitude for SEG’s ongoing support, stating, “Every action—no matter how big or small—brings us closer to ending hunger together.”
