Upon learning of PSMC selecting OURM as a recipient of the grant, president/CEO Freddy Clayton released the following statement:
“We are extraordinarily grateful to the Publix Super Market Charities for the generosity of this gift. Every gift to the Mission helps transform the lives of our guests – the formerly homeless men, women, and children who live with us – and the magnitude of the Publix gift will generate hope and bright futures for many of the least fortunate in our community.

The Mission and our guests appreciate Publix Super Market Charities more than we can say.”
