Florida-based supermarket Winn-Dixie's parent company said it will donate over $3 million to the Wounded Warrior Project, all from profits made on July 4.
Southeastern Grocers, which owns Winn-Dixie, Harveys and BI-LO, raised $3,044,091.38.
The money was raised with donations made between July 1 and July 5, plus all profits earned from sales on July 4 at the three supermarket chains. The donations were collected across Southeastern Grocers' nearly 790 stores.
Every penny from the fundraiser will go to Wounded Warrior Project's Independence Program, which helps injured veterans live independently, despite their injuries. The program provides personalized plans for each vets needs or interests.
