Kroger’s 14 North Carolina stores are donating more than $60,000 in goods to Hurricane Matthew-impacted locations within North Carolina.

Kroger has teamed up with the American Red Cross of Eastern North Carolina to provide the supplies needed to bring relief to the people and areas affected by the storm.

Thus far, the store is providing a tractor-trailer truck full of snacks and supplies valued at $25,000 to be hand-delivered as far as New Bern, N.C.

In addition, $20,000 in gift cards will be donated to various areas to aid with relief efforts, and $2,000 in water will be donated to Gleaning for the World, a nonprofit disaster relief company. The water will be donated to families who were hit the hardest during the hurricane.

Kroger’s customers will also be able to contribute to the relief efforts. Shoppers can make cash donations at coin boxes found at each register in all local Kroger stores as well as stores across the Mid-Atlantic region located in Virginia, West Virginia, Tennessee, Kentucky and Ohio. The coin boxes will be available through early November, and donations expect to reach $15,000.

“Our thoughts are with all the flood victims and those that are living in shelters right now and we are doing everything within our power to get food and supplies to you quickly,” said Allison McGee, advertising and public affairs manager for Kroger Mid-Atlantic Division. “Our customers and the Kroger family is dedicated to helping the community in crucial times such as these. With only 14 stores in North Carolina, we are moved by the support of our customers and we truly thank them for everything they are doing right now to support their community.”

Kroger is committed to excellent customer service with an unwavering dedication to providing quality products, especially during crucial times such as this. Kroger continues to step up to support our local communities and people in times of need, while making the necessary strides to ensure customers in the Triangle and beyond are taken care of, even after the storm has passed.
