Florida-based grocery chain Winn-Dixie announced Wednesday it will donate 100% of its profits on Independence Day Saturday to the Wounded Warrior Project—a charity and veterans service organization that offers a variety of programs, service and events for wounded veterans of the military actions following the terror attacks of September 11, 2001.

“Winn-Dixie operates in states with some of the highest Active Duty military populations in the United States,” said Ian McLeod, CEO and president of Southeastern Grocers, parent company Winn-Dixie grocery stores.

“While we recognize on Memorial Day those soldiers who paid the supreme sacrifice and give thanks to those who have served on Veterans Day, the sacrifice and needs of those who are severely injured visibly or invisibly is not necessarily fully understood. I am honored that we are running this program and am thankful to the military men and women and their families for their service and sacrifice.”

“We believe we all have a responsibility to care and contribute to the lives of those who have served and sacrificed for the nation, which is why we are committing every cent of every dollar of profit generated this Independence Day across all of our Winn-Dixie stores to help support the Wounded Warrior Project’s Independence Program,” McLeod continued. “We felt it is the right thing to do, and our associates do, too.”

Winn-Dixie has 63 locations across Alabama, so when you’re loading up on watermelon and hamburger buns or just restocking the cooler this weekend, consider doing your more with your shopping by making those purchases at Winn-Dixie.
