Steve Walker, Regional Director for Publix, left, presents a check to Senior Manager of Retail Partnerships for Feeding Northeast Florida Chimere Nieves. Feeding Northeast Florida serves the more than 257,000 people facing food insecurity in their eight-county operating area, including Clay County; and with the rising numbers of newly unemployed neighbors, Feeding Northeast Florida has seen a greatly increased demand for food. The $125,000 donation from Publix Charities to Feeding Northeast Florida is one of several donations made this year to help provide food and other essential support to those hardest-hit by the pandemic.
