Kroger celebrated a fundraising milestone in a visit to the Humane Society for Hamilton County. The achievement displays the fundraising potential for organizations enrolled in Kroger’s Community Rewards program. Humane Society for Hamilton County earned more than $12,000 from its membership during 2022, more than any other participant in Indiana.
“It’s a remarkably simple concept,” said Eric Halvorson, manager of Corporate Affairs for Kroger Central Division. “You shop with us. We donate to your favorite local charity. We’re here today to show our gratitude to members of the Humane Society for Hamilton County. It’s because of them and the trust they place in Kroger that we were able to make such a donation in support of the service provided here every day through the past year.”
Kroger also celebrated the achievement with the presentation of a $250 Kroger gift card as another boost to help the organization provide daily essentials for the shelter pets waiting for their forever families.
“We are extremely grateful to be a beneficiary of the Kroger Community Rewards Program and we can’t thank the Kroger shoppers enough,” said Jennifer Dant, Corporate Sponsorship & Events Manager for the Humane Society for Hamilton County. “This donation has had a huge impact on the lives of the homeless pets in our care. With our shelter being overcrowded and currently in crisis we really depend on the community’s support.”
