On Saturday, July 30, from 10 a.m. until 4 p.m., Publix Super Markets will offer free kids safety photos at all Georgia stores. When parents return to pick up their photos the following week, they will receive a Kids Emergency Information Folder.

The inside cover of the folder will have a place for parents to fill in pertinent information about their children, including height, weight, eye and hair color, etc. The photo fits neatly on the other side.

"According to the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children (NCMEC), when a child is missing, the first thing law enforcement will ask for is a photo and description of the child," said Publix Spokesperson Brenda Reid. "We hope our program will make it convenient for parents to keep this important information handy."

Stores will be passing out Plato Coloring Passports, which are filled with fun nutritional lessons and activities for children, and Menu Planning Cards for each family. Children can also enter to win exciting prizes and parents may pick up the current edition of Publix's Family Style® magazine, as well as enrollment forms for the Publix Baby Club®.

For parents of preschoolers, Publix offers Publix Preschool Pals, a Web-based club that provides helpful information for parents, as well as entertaining and educational games for preschoolers. Membership is free and available through www.publix.com/preschool, or through the Clubs section of the Publix Web site, www.publix.com.

Publix is owned and operated by its 130,000 employees, with 2004 sales of $18.6 billion. Currently, Publix has 856 stores in Florida, Georgia, South Carolina, Alabama and Tennessee. The company has been named one of Fortune's "100 Best Companies to Work For in America" for eight consecutive years.
