For the second straight year, Southeastern Grocers is donating all profits from its stores on July 4 to support veterans.

Money from area Winn-Dixie and Harveys stores will be given to Hope for the Warriors, which works with active military, veterans and their families and caregivers around the country.

“We fully recognize the selfless contributions of those who have, and continue to serve,” Ian McLeod, president and CEO of Southeastern Grocers, said in a news release.

Customers can also donate to the charity during checkout through July 10.

Other ways to support the cause include through notes that will be used on the stores’ Wall of Honor displays or by posting online at facebook.com/allforhonor.

Hope for the Warriors was founded in 2006 by military families at Camp Lejeune, N.C.
