Have you renewed your support of Good Samaritan through Kroger’s Neighbor to Neighbor Donation Program? The new Kroger Neighbor to Neighbor Donation Program year began July 1, 2009 and will end April 30, 2010.
Print the the barcode image and note below and present it to your Kroger cashier at checkout. After they have scanned your KrogerPlus Card and the barcode below, you will be enrolled for the 2009 Kroger Neighbor to Neighbor Donation Program. After this initial scan of the barcode below, each time you shop at Kroger and use your enrolled KrogerPlus Card, Kroger will contribute a percentage of your eligible purchases to the Kroger Neighbor to Neighbor Donation fund.

The new Kroger Neighbor to Neighbor Donation system allows for only one charitable organization to be chosen per household. We hope you choose Good Samaritan Ministries.
