Kroger Launches 2014 Can Hunger Campaign to Benefit the Atlanta Community Food Bank
Kroger to help partnering food banks raise funds for nonperishable items during the holiday season
WHAT: As food banks around the country begin collecting food for the holidays, Kroger is making it easy this year to “Can Hunger” in Atlanta through donations to the Atlanta Community Food Bank and other local Feeding America Food Banks.
From Nov. 16 – Dec. 24, Kroger customers can purchase $1, $3 or $5 icons to help provide food for area families in need. All donations collected in the Atlanta area will benefit the Atlanta Community Food Bank.
More than 50 million Americans lived in food insecure households last year – according to the U.S. Department of Agriculture – but with the generosity of individuals and businesses, local food banks continue to help feed families across the country.
