Publix Super Markets presented a $30,753.33 check from its 2016 Food For All campaign to the Chattanooga Area Food Bank. Stores in Georgia, Alabama and Tennessee participated in the annual fundraiser. Brenda Reid, with Publix's Atlanta division, said, "Thanks to the generosity of our customers - and the enthusiasm of our associates - the campaign is helping to make a difference in the lives of so many in the communities we serve."
The donation equates to more than 123,000 meals for the hungry, said Gina Crumbliss, president and CEO for the Food Bank. "We are grateful for our partnership with Publix and appreciate the support we receive from them."
