Publix Super Markets Charities

George Jenkins founded Publix with the spirit of giving in mind. He was once asked, “If you hadn’t given away so much, how much do you think you would be worth today?” His response, without hesitation: “Probably nothing.”
In tribute to his shining example, Publix continues to be a corporate giving leader.
