Southeastern Grocers supporting heart health
Southeastern Grocers Inc. announced an in-store community donation program benefiting the American Heart Association, the world's leading nonprofit organization focused on heart and brain health, and its Life is Why campaign in celebration of American Heart Month.
Now through Feb. 25, Harveys Supermarket and Winn-Dixie customers across the Southeast can donate to support the American Heart Association in its fight against heart disease and stroke. Every cent raised during this three-week program will directly support the lives of local individuals through innovative research, survivor services and prevention programs to help more people lower their risk of heart disease and stroke, which claim more lives in the U.S. than all forms of cancer and accidental deaths combined, according to the American Heart Association. In fact, someone dies from heart disease, stroke or another cardiovascular disease every 34 seconds.
“We believe in the power of community and the importance of prioritizing heart health," said Anthony Hucker, president and CEO for Southeastern Grocers. "Through our ongoing partnership with the American Heart Association and the Life is Why campaign, we are proud to provide our customers with an opportunity to support lifesaving initiatives that make a lasting impact in the communities we serve. Together, we can take meaningful steps to combat heart disease and stroke while inspiring our neighbors to live healthier lives.”
By partnering with the American Heart Association, SEG continues its mission to support healthier lifestyles — both through the nutritious foods it provides and the impactful initiatives it champions. The grocer is committed to nourishing its communities by offering fresh, high-quality options that empower customers to make heart-smart choices. A balanced diet is one of the most effective ways to reduce the risk of heart disease and stroke, and by making mindful food choices, Harveys Supermarket and Winn-Dixie customers can take proactive steps toward a healthier heart and overall well-being.
