NEW! Kroger cares program/Kroger gift cards

For more than four years, grocery shoppers have helped to support the build activities of Athens Women Raise the Roof every time they use their Kroger Gift Card to purchase groceries. The 5 percent of people's Kroger bill has been a terrific, passive fund-raising tool for WRTR.

As of May 1, Kroger replaced the Kroger Cares program with one that uses your Kroger Plus card instead of a specially designated Kroger gift card. To maximize the returns on your shopping, you will need to register your account.
