Food Fight to Tackle Childhood Hunger

Kroger Hunger Knows No Season homepage banner

This year's Kroger Hunger Knows No Season campaign netted 154,000 pounds of nutritious food for Gleaners to distribute to our hungry neighbors through more than 400 partner agencies throughout the region.

The anti-hunger campaign, held each year between November and January, allows Kroger grocery store shoppers to add $1, $3 or $5 to their grocery bills at the checkout counter to provide food to fill the shelves of local pantries.

Gleaners is grateful to Kroger and its many generous customers who helped make this year's campaign a success.

Hunger Knows No Season was part of many Gleaners Cure Hunger Here events. More info about Cure Hunger Here...

Thank you to everyone who contributed to our December Urgent Need campaign!

We exceeded our $1 million goal by the end of the day on December 31st! Thanks to individual donors, local businesses and corporations, Gleaners was able to meet the need for the holidays.

Of course, the need does not end with the new year. More families than ever are facing hunger every day as they choose to either heat their homes or provide food for their children.

Learn more about the urgent need that Gleaners and its member agencies face in this time of rising demand and falling donations.

You can still contribute with an online donation today. Remember: you can join our Hunger Heroes with a donation of $1,000 or more.
