Publix Super Markets Charities presented a check in the amount of $20,000 to the staff at The Jimmie Hale Mission Friday morning. This generosity comes in addition to the countless in-kind food donations the Mission receives from local Publix stores on a regular basis.
The grant will provide more than 10,200 meals to the men, women, and children at the Shepura Men’s Center, Jessie’s Place, and Royal Pines Recovery Center. Last year, the Mission served more than 212,000 meals at its three facilities and to individuals in the community and the impact this donation will make heading into the holiday season cannot be overstated.
“Our foundation was established by Publix’s founder, Mr. George Jenkins, to improve life in our communities,” said Publix Charities executive director Kelly Williams-Puccio in a letter to the Mission. “We believe your organization exemplifies that mission and are pleased to play a part in your efforts.”
