Publix

Every year, at the beginning of September, Publix starts their United Way campain. If you are not familiar with the United way, its a graet organization throughout the nation. all over, the united way funds charitably organizations. locally, they fund 34 charites. the biggest being the red cross. 38% of t he red crosses money comes from the united way. so basically, without the United Way, there would be no Red Cross. they also fund the "big brothers, big sisters" program, meals on wheels, and local food banks. its a great organization that helps the kids. Yesterday i went to the boys and girls club to see what our dollars are really doing in the community. i saw alot of great things going on. alot of kids from the area came in right after school. when they came in, they got something to eat and play games. next they go in rooms and did their homework after that, they did some exersizes, and finally, they colud play basketball. i had an opportunity to see how our money really does help and that it really does good for them. being the coordinator for my store, i have helped raise almost 21,000 dollars so far. its been a great campain so far. its part of our mission statement to be actively involved in the community,in that, we need to take care of all that we can do. so next time you even think about shopping at kroger, remember which grocery store actually helps out in the community and which store yuo would come to in desirable need. and remember, Publix...Where shopping is a pleasure
