Meals on Wheels South Florida has been selected by local Winn-Dixie store leadership as the benefiting non-profit in the Winn-Dixie Bloomin' 4 Good Program for the month of August 2022.

The Winn-Dixie Bloomin' 4 Good Program is designed to give back in local communities with every floral bouquet purchased. Every $12.99 Bloomin' 4 Good Bouquet with the red circle sticker sold supports a non-profit local to the Winn-Dixie in which it was purchased.
