Southeastern Grocers Inc. (SEG), parent company and home of Harveys Supermarket and Winn-Dixie grocery stores, together with the SEG Gives Foundation, is honoring Black History Month and its enduring commitment to belonging, inclusion and diversity with the launch of its annual grant program and community service initiatives.
