Winn Dixie - Give-a-Meal ($1 feeds 8)

WINN-DIXIE ASKS GUESTS TO “GIVE A MEAL” THIS HOLIDAY SEASON; GROCER JOINS NATIONAL EFFORT TO COMBAT HUNGER

Winn-Dixie Stores, Inc. has joined forces with Feeding America to launch the Give a Meal program, which gives Winn-Dixie guests and team members the opportunity to help provide food to nearly 37 million Americans — including more than 14 million children — facing hunger this holiday season.

Here’s how it works:
Give a Meal runs through Jan. 3 and is available in all of Winn-Dixie’s 482 stores in Florida, Alabama, Georgia, Louisiana and Mississippi. Every $1 donated during the campaign helps provide eight meals to people in need.

There are three simple ways for to support the Give a Meal effort:
1.      Donate at the register — this allows guests or team members to make a $1 or greater donation when purchasing groceries;
2.      Donate online at www.winn-dixie.com/giveameal by charging a donation to a credit card;
3.      Purchase Winn-Dixie brand products — through vendor support, when a guest or team member purchases a designated Winn-Dixie brand product, a portion of the purchase will be donated to Feeding America.

*Some stores will offer prepackaged nonperishables in $5 and $10 increments that can be donated to the regional food bank immediately after purchase at marked collection barrels near the store exit.
