One of their South Florida grocery stores will pass out free water on Thursday those to affected by the storm.
"Winn-Dixie is proud to be a part of the South Florida community and the continued Hurricane Irma relief efforts as we join our neighbors in the recovery process from the effects of this devastating storm," stated Anthony Hucker, President and CEO of Southeastern Grocers.

There is a limit as to how much water you can pick up. Residents will be limited to one case (24 bottles) per person.
