Have a favorite nonprofit that gives back to our local community? This month, Publix is doing their part in giving back to Lakeland by sponsoring a Publix Giveback Giveaway, awarding a free LALtoday advertising package to two lucky local charities that are most-nominated by our readers (aka you).

Prizes total nearly $9,000 dollars in value, and will be used to help nonprofits spread the word about their mission and impact on Lakeland.

Here’s how to nominate a nonprofit:

  1. Open our nomination form.
  2. Enter your name, email address, the name of the Polk County nonprofit or charity you’re nominating, and why you believe they should be selected to win. Please use the full proper name of the organization (“Boys & Girls Club of Polk County,” vs. “Boys & Girls Club” or “BGCA”).
  3. The organizations with the most nominations will win the first and second prizes — so be sure to share our giveaway on social media (Instagram, Facebook + more). Pro tip: Tag the local organization you’re supporting so they help spread the word, too.

Enter now through Wednesday, Aug. 16, at 11:59 p.m. (one entry per person allowed). New to LALtoday? Subscribe to our newsletter to learn which organizations will take home the prizes in an announcement on Monday, Aug. 21.
