Publix Helps March of Dimes Annual Drive

Publix Super Markets and March of Dimes have launched their annual in-store campaign, inviting customers to donate at the register through Aug. 21 to support maternal and infant health programs. The partnership spans more than 30 years. Funds raised support March of Dimes programs including NICU Family Support and maternal health education.

Cindy Rahman, president and CEO of March of Dimes, said, “For decades, Publix has been more than a corporate partner, they are committed champions for moms, babies, and families in the communities they serve.”

Publix’s 2025 register campaign raised nearly $5.4 million, earning the grocer recognition as March of Dimes’ No. 1 corporate partner for the 10th consecutive year. According to Publix, the company has raised more than $100 million at the point of sale for the organization since the campaign launched in 1995.

This year’s campaign features Kevin Duffy, store manager of the Publix in Millbrook, Alabama, and father of three children who were born preterm and required neonatal intensive care. “Seeing that one of our sons could be born with a collapsed lung and only need a chest tube for two days because of the research March of Dimes has funded over the years is a miracle,” Duffy said.

Publix is the largest employee-owned company in the U.S. with more than 260,000 associates and operates more than 1,440 stores in Florida, Georgia, Alabama, Tennessee, South Carolina, North Carolina, Virginia and Kentucky. Dwaine Stevens, Publix director of community relations, said, “Being involved as responsible citizens in the communities they serve is a core part of the Publix mission.”

March of Dimes supports research, education and advocacy to improve outcomes for mothers and babies. The organization’s work has led to significant improvements in neonatal care and maternal health education. They have been working to improve these areas since their founding in 1938.

Publix customers can donate at the register to support March of Dimes programs. The company’s long-standing partnership with March of Dimes shows its commitment to giving back to the community. This partnership will likely continue to make a positive impact on the lives of mothers and babies in the years to come, as it has done for over three decades.

Publix and March of Dimes are built on a shared commitment to supporting maternal and infant health. The fact that Publix has raised over $100 million for March of Dimes since 1995 indicates the company’s dedication to this cause.

The numbers demonstrate the effectiveness of the partnership and its impact on the community.
They have been recognized as March of Dimes’ No. 1 corporate partner for 10 consecutive years.

As the campaign comes to a close on Aug. 21, Publix customers can continue to donate at the register to support March of Dimes programs. The company’s commitment to giving back to the community is a core part of its mission, and this partnership is a prime example of that commitment in action, similar to new store openings that also engage with local communities.
