Kroger is very active in charitable giving. There are four causes that Kroger donates funds for:
Neighbor to Neighbor - Kroger donated more than $167 million to local communities and non profit organizations in 2009. More than 30,000 local schools, hunger relief agencies, youth programs and nonprofit organizations in communities where Kroger operates stores or manufacturing facilities received support from the Company.
Giving Hope A Hand - Kroger will be contributing $3 million for breast cancer awareness, treatment, and research in local communities where Kroger’s customers and employees live and work.
Salvation Army - Kroger’s red kettle campaign raised $11.3 million for the Salvation Army during the 2009 holiday season. Every dollar donated stayed in the local community where it was raised. In addition to the donations, Kroger participated in events like organizing toy drive and providing holiday meals for those less fortunate.
Bringing Hope To The Table - Kroger is donating $3 million in funds and $1 million in product to help feed those struggling with hunger through this cause-marketing partnership with Feeding America. Kroger is one of the founding members of Feeding America. Kroger executives and senior management serve on the boards of local food banks and the Feeding America national organization. Store associates volunteer to sort donations, stock food bank shelves, and pack care boxes.

I really like to see when companies help the community they are in. The local Kroger allows our humane society to keep a barrel at the front of the store for donations... They also work with our local food bank, allowing volunteers to hand out shopping lists in the store and collect donations on-site.
