Publix recognized six associates with the Mr. George Community
Service Award for outstanding commitment to their communities
during the company’s annual stockholders’ meeting.
Publix founder George Jenkins, affectionately known as Mr.
George, believed that Publix and its associates should make a
difference in their communities, and the Mr. George Community
Service Award annually recognizes associates who have continued his
legacy of service. Since 1995, 153 associates have received this
prestigious honor.
“Mr. George once stated that we’re not only in the grocery
business, we’re in the people business,” said Publix CEO Kevin
Murphy. “And that means taking care of our customers, communities
and each other. Our 2024 recipients take these words to heart and
are fulfilling our mission to be involved as responsible citizens
in the communities we serve.”
