UWCF PAD Best Practices
United Way of Central Florida wants to help you celebrate your success on Publix Appreciation Day. We have several best practices that will help recognize and appreciate as many Publix Associates as possible for all they have done to support United Way in their communities.
Publix associates collectively create major impact for local United Ways within their 7-state footprint. Annually, we go the extra mile to express gratitude for all Publix associates. They truly LIVE UNITED by giving their time, talents and treasures to our local communities. Below are a few ideas of how we can say THANK YOU! Please make sure all methods of appreciation are planned with Publix Coordinators.
- Press release
- BoCC proclamation/resolution
- Billboard signage
- Social media platforms
- Handle: @Publix
- Hashtag: ##UWlovesPublix
- Commercials
- Breakfast or luncheon for Publix store managers, employee coordinators and AOLs
- Special gift for store managers, employee coordinators and AOLs
- Awards
- Leadership lapel pins with personal thank you notes
- Positive picketing/Pep rallies or flash mobs with United Way staff, board members, campaign cabinet and partner agencies
- Wear Publix green attire and “I love Publix” pin
- Goodie bag per coordinator. Treats could include United Way backpacks, water bottles, cookies, candy, etc.
