Did you know that the Kroger supermarket stores give you a great way to support HIKE for Mental Health, and it doesn’t cost you a penny?

The Kroger Community Rewards program allows shoppers to attach HIKE for Mental Health to their Kroger card. Every dollar spent on groceries at Kroger will be a point for HIKE for Mental Health. Four times a year, Kroger disburses its donations – more than $1 million a year –  to all the registered charities, split out based on the percentage of points that charity received. So if HIKE for Mental Health received just 1% of the votes, that would be enough to cover our operating costs (shirts, bandanas, printing, website, etc.) for a year!

Even better – the donation is in addition to fuel savings points Kroger offers you and will not impact your fuel savings. It costs you nothing, and gives you a voice in where Kroger’s corporate donations go. Isn’t that awesome?!

So if you are a Kroger shopper, please sign up! Here is how:
