The Salvation Army's iconic Red Kettles will once again ring in the season at The Kroger Co.'s family of stores. Customers and associates generously support the campaign each year, helping provide food, clothing, toys and social services in the communities where funds are raised.
In 2009, Kroger customers and associates contributed $11.3 million to the campaign, which represents 8% of the record $139 million raised nationwide. All funds collected are used locally in the community where the donations are raised. The Red Kettle campaign enables The Salvation Army to assist 30 million Americans in over 5,000 communities across the country.
Lynn Marmer, group vice president of Corporate Affairs for Kroger, was quoted as saying "The annual Red Kettle campaign lets our customers and associates make a real difference in the lives of their neighbors in need, one small donation at a time. We value our long-standing partnership with The Salvation Army and the impact the campaign makes in the communities we serve."
