Shop at Kroger and help support your community through United Way of Kankakee County (08/18/09)  Kroger and United Way have teamed up to help you “Give a little bit” or a lot to your community.  When you visit your local Kroger store, in Bourbonnais, between August 16, 2009 and September 12^th, 2009 you can take advantage of “customer scans”, which are donation cards you can complete at check-out.  The cards will be located at each register for customers to add a donation to the United Way of Kankakee County to their grocery bill.   ALL money raised via customer scans stays right here in Kankakee County, where it is raised.  Donors will receive a tax receipt on their store receipt upon making a customer scan donation.  Last year the employees of Kroger raised over $2,300.00 themselves for the United Way of Kankakee County’s 2008-2009 Campaign. These dollars help to support 44 programs within 24 partner agencies focusing on better health, income and education for the citizens of Kankakee county.  This year more than ever the need is strong and you can make a difference in so many lives by simply saying “I would like to help” at Kroger.
