The company has discontinued the gift cards previously used in the program and now ties participation to the Kroger Plus cards many of us have on our key rings. To participate, you must have or set up an account at Kroger.com, then select Be Concerned as your charity. Once that is done, Be Concerned will receive 4 % of every in-store transaction you make using your Kroger Plus card.

Be Concerned is thankful for the dozens of organizations that have done drives for our program this year, and particularly for the more than 30 groups that are doing or have completed 2011 holiday drives. Their efforts have generated thousands of food, hygiene, cleaning supply and other product items, without whichour pantry and holiday programs would not be possible. It's not too late if your organization would like to do such a drive -- call (859) 291-6789 for details. |
