Kroger Community Rewards Give to CCGS

Kroger Community Rewards Give to CCGS

We received our check this month for $9.86 from Kroger.  The check is a different amount each time; the amount depends on how many of our supporters shop and how much they spend on groceries each month. 

If you would like to help the library every time you ‘go Krogering,’ you can sign up at https://www.kroger.com/communityrewards

You will need to open an account and link it to your Kroger card that is scanned each time you shop.   Choose our name, Clay County Genealogical Society, and credits will be applied to the Society each time you use your card.

It costs you nothing to sign up, and it does not take away any of your fuel points.  Every check we receive from Kroger Community Rewards helps pay our utilities.  Thank you.
