Changes to the Kroger Share
Card Program
Neighbor-to-Neighbor Program Eliminates Need for
Separate Share Card
Kroger Grocery Stores have
recently discontinued the Kroger Share Card program and have replaced it
with their new Neighbor to Neighbor program. Under this program, you
are no longer required to present a share card at the check-out counter
when you wish to donate to GBGRR. Instead, you can have a
GBGRR identification number electronically encoded onto your KrogerPlus
Card that will identify GBGRR as the organization you wish to support.
Kroger has set aside a fund of one million dollars to be divided up among
all participating non-profit agencies. The amount each agency receives
will be based on the number of times that agency’s identification number
is used by customers in a given year. That means the more you use your
KrogerPlus Card, the more GBGRR receives for our rescued animals.
Having the GBGRR
identification number added to your KrogerPlus Card is as simple
as having the cashier scan a bar code that contains the GBGRR
identification number. You only have to do this once a year.
The current Neighbor to Neighbor Program is effective May 1, 2008 to April
30, 2009. After the bar code has been scanned, our rescues
will benefit every time you shop during the entire year. The bar code
appears below and can be printed and used by Kroger to enroll you in the
program. Alternatively, you can
download a PDF file that contains the bar
code and complete instructions for its use. (Adobe
Acrobat is required
to view a PDF file.) The KrogerPlus card is
free and membership is not required to obtain this shopping card. If you have questions about the
Neighbor to Neighbor Program, you can contact a Kroger representative at
866-995-7643 or by email to
The Kroger Share Card has been a very beneficial program for our Rescue, so if you shop at Kroger, please add GBGRR to your KrogerPlus Card so that the success can continue.
