Southeastern Grocers’ Begins Community Donation Campaign

Southeastern Grocers donations

Jacksonville, Florida-based Southeastern Grocers is collaborating with nine children’s hospitals to raise funds in support of pediatric care facilities that provide specialized and emergency services and critical care for children and their families.

According to the American Academy of Pediatrics, approximately 2 million children and adolescents are admitted to hospitals in the U.S. each year. Through April 25, customers are encouraged to donate $1, $5 or round up their grocery bills while shopping. 

“At Southeastern Grocers, we are dedicated to giving back to our local communities and believe every child deserves access to the best possible care,” said Raymond Rhee, chief people officer.

“We are proud to join like-minded individuals to make a significant impact in the lives of local children with this initiative. Our heartfelt hope is that, together, we can make a meaningful difference and support the invaluable work of these remarkable hospitals.”

The contributions collected will be donated to the following nine children’s hospitals to support each facility’s pediatric specialty programs, family centered support, therapeutic activities, research, child advocacy and other programs:
