Kroger Launches 2022 Zero Hunger | Zero Waste Holiday Round-Up
Monday, November 14th, 2022
Kroger has launched its 2022 Zero Hunger | Zero Waste Holiday Round-up campaign to help support those who are food insecure and hungry during the holiday season.
“Kroger’s 2022 Holiday Round-up is a way to show friends, families and individuals in our local communities that they do not face hunger alone,” said Tammie Young-Ennaemba, manager of corporate affairs for Kroger’s Atlanta Division. “This holiday season we are inviting our entire Kroger family – our associates and customers – to round-up their purchases to help provide meals for our neighbors in need.”
Through December 24, Kroger customers can round-up their purchase to the nearest dollar – or round up in $1, $5 and $10-dollar increments. All funds raised through the holiday round-up will be directed to The Kroger Co. Zero Hunger | Zero Waste Foundation, with one hundred percent of customer donations going to the community’s local hunger relief organization.
The Holiday Round-up campaign is part of Kroger’s Zero Hunger | Zero Waste commitment. Since 2018, the Kroger Co. Zero Hunger | Zero Waste Foundation has directed more than $48 million to organizations, innovators and changemakers across the country to address a fundamental absurdity in our nation’s food system: 35% of food produced in the U.S. is thrown away, yet 42 million Americans struggle with hunger.
“Together, we can help make the holidays a little brighter for everyone, one meal at a time,” Young-Ennaemba said.
