USO benefits from Kroger fundraising
Kroger customers in the company’s Atlanta Division raised $382,000 through the grocer’s annual “Round-Up” and Honoring Our Heroes campaigns in support of the United Service Organization (USO),
The total surpassed the $250,000 goal for the project by more than $130,000.
As part of the Round-Up, which was held from June 30 to July 13, Kroger customers rounded up purchases to the nearest dollar with the difference benefitting the USO.
“The outpouring of participation and monetary support shows the affinity that so many in our division have for the USO, service members and their families who make sacrifices for our country,” said Kroger spokesman Glynn Jenkins.
Kroger operates eleven supermarkets in the Savannah metro area.
