Kroger has a long history of giving back meaningfully to our communities. We aim to serve and strengthen our communities through our neighborhood stores and charitable donations aligned with our purpose and mission.  

Kroger’s Zero Hunger | Zero Waste plan sits at the center of our impact strategy. As part of our Zero Hunger | Zero Waste plan, we prioritize donations supporting nonprofit organizations and programs that help end hunger and waste in our communities.

Kroger Community Rewards Program

Kroger also provides an alternative fundraising option for eligible nonprofit organizations of all sizes –including community schools, teams, churches, animal shelters and other groups – to raise money for their cause. Through this program, Kroger invites customers to direct funds to local charities they care most about. 

Signing up for Community Rewards is easy! Your non-profit organization can enroll in Community Rewards and offer the opportunity to your supporters (our customers) to link their Kroger Shopper’s Card to your organization. Once a Shopper Card is linked to an organization and with a swipe of the card at checkout, the chosen organization earns funds.
