Meals on Wheels South Florida Celebrates Selection as a
Winn-Dixie Bloomin’ 4 Good Program Beneficiary

Celebrate Valentine’s Day and Support Local Seniors Through This February Awareness Campaign

Plantation, FL (January 30, 2023) – Meals on Wheels South Florida is proud to announce they have been selected as a beneficiary of the Winn-Dixie Bloomin’ 4 Good Program for the month of February at the 941 Southwest 24th Street, Fort Lauderdale location.

The Winn-Dixie Bloomin’ 4 Good Program, which launched in October 2021, is an easy way for shoppers to give back to their local communities. Every $12.99 Bloomin’ 4 Good Bouquet with the red circle sticker sold supports a hunger organization local to the Winn-Dixie in which it was purchased. As a result of this campaign, Meals on Wheels South Florida will receive a $1 donation for every Bloomin’ 4 Good Bouquet purchased at this Winn-Dixie location in February.*

“Flowers can make someone’s day, brighten a room, or spread a smile,” said Mark Adler, Executive Director of Meals on Wheels South Florida. “Now they can help alleviate senior hunger and isolation. Every bouquet sold in February will help support the seniors we have been proudly serving since 1984.”
