CINCINNATI, May 22, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- To show support for our heroes – troops, their families and veterans – The Kroger Co. (NYSE: KR) today announced a robust program involving events and customer engagement that will honor these heroes all summer.
More than two million Americans serve on active duty or in the reserves today, including many Kroger family of stores associates. Kroger has partnered with the USO through "Honoring Our Heroes," a multi-faceted program designed to show Kroger's deep gratitude to our active duty troops and our nation's 23 million veterans.
Kroger's customers and associates have enthusiastically supported the endeavor: Together, Kroger's annual campaign has raised more than $11.9 million since 2010 to support USO programs, which represents the largest cumulative gift to the USO in its nearly 75 year history.
To honor our heroes, Kroger announced several easy ways for customers to participate this Memorial Day season:
"We are all touched by the military service of our neighbors, friends and colleagues, which makes Honoring Our Heroes close to the hearts and homes of our customers and associates," said Lynn Marmer, Kroger's group vice president of corporate affairs. "While we can never truly thank our service men and women enough for the sacrifices they make, we are deeply committed to recognizing our troops and their families through our partnership with the USO."
