Winn-Dixie to donate 100 percent of Fourth of July profits for veterans

Winn-Dixie has pledged to donate 100 percent of all profits from the Fourth of July to a nonprofit dedicated to service members and their families.

Every dollar spent at all Winn-Dixie stores will be donated to Hope For The Warriors. Customers are also able to donate at checkout and write messages to veterans on cards displayed on a Wall of Honor at each store.

This is the second consecutive year Southeastern Grocers, parent company of BI-LO, Harveys and Winn-Dixie, has donated its profits from July 4 to support veterans and their families.

In 2015, the company raised more than $3 million for veterans.

Hope For The Warriors is a nonprofit dedicated to restoring a sense of self, family and hope for veterans, service members and military families.
