                     HONORING PUBLIX SUPER MARKETS

  The SPEAKER pro tempore. The Chair recognizes the gentlewoman from 
Florida (Ms. Lee) for 5 minutes.
  Ms. LEE of Florida. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor Publix Super 
Markets as they donate their one-hundred-millionth pound of produce to 
food banks across their eight-State footprint.
  When leaders at Publix learned that farmers were plowing under 
produce crops in 2000 because markets dried up, they decided to 
purchase produce from farmers and give it away to their partners at 
Feeding America.
  As of today, Publix has donated 100 million pounds of produce to 35 
food banks.
  I am proud to have Publix headquartered in my congressional district 
and appreciate all they are doing in partnership with food banks 
throughout the Southeast.
  We congratulate all Publix associates on this important milestone and 
for doing good, together.
