For more than 25 years, The Kroger Co. has helped the fight against hunger in the United States.   Every Kroger regional division works closely with more than 200 Feeding America Network food banks and agencies.   Kroger’s Perishable Donation program brings critically needed perishable food items to our Network members.   In 2006, Kroger launched Bringing Hope to the Table," a cause-marketing partnership that brings together food manufacturers, popular brands, and consumers in a united effort to fight hunger in communities across America.  Now in its third successful year, the program has generated more than $9 million in cash donations and $3 million in product for our Network Members.  The Kroger Co. has been honored by the Feeding America Network for its continued support, naming it Retailer of the Year for five of the last seven years.

“Kroger has a long-standing tradition of giving back to the communities we serve.  As one of the largest retail grocers in the country, we are proud of our partnership with more than 200 Feeding America member food banks, food rescue-organizations and the national office. This year we again launched ‘Bringing Hope to the Table,’ a national campaign to draw attention to hunger and to raise significant funds and food for Feeding America’s network members.”
