Anthony Hucker, President and CEO of Southeastern Grocers, said, “At Southeastern Grocers, we are guided by doing the right thing; we recognize the people of Ukraine need our help, and they need it now. That’s why we are immediately directing funds to the International Committee of the Red Cross to support the victims of the war in Ukraine. This decision is a natural extension of our belief that there is greater power in unity than there is in division; we believe that we are all stronger together.”

SEG is proud to help those in need and to support the international arm of the American Red Cross to globally aid the citizens of the world.
