JACKSONVILLE, Fla.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Winn-Dixie is helping customers pencil in savings on their grocery shopping list for the back-to-school season with a wide selection of everyday low prices, top-of-the-class discounts on favorite products and award-winning rewards. To continue supporting local students, the neighborhood grocer is also donating vital funds to schools across its five-state footprint through its Community Bag with a Giving Tag program during the month of August.
Raymond Rhee, Chief People Officer for Southeastern Grocers, said, “We know our customers are looking for convenience and affordability, and Winn-Dixie is dedicated to helping families save valuable time and money during the busy back-to-school season. By providing winning savings families can count on and giving back to our neighborhood schools through initiatives like our Community Bag with a Giving Tag program, we remain committed to ensuring every student has the resources and nutrition they need for a successful academic year. Together, we can help our future leaders thrive both in and out of the classroom.”
Winn-Dixie takes pride in championing educational opportunities for neighbors in the local communities it serves, and the grocer is proud to give back through its Community Bag with a Giving Tag program to kickstart the school year.

The vibrant community bags are made from recycled materials and are available for purchase at all Winn-Dixie locations for $2.99. By purchasing a Community Bag, customers can easily help make a difference in supporting their community’s local school while also benefiting the environment by reducing the use of paper and plastic bags.
