FREE & Easy Ways to Help
Volunteer, Employee & Retiree Matching Gift Programs. Many companies offer matching gift programs, encouraging current or retired employees or their spouses or widows to contribute to charitable organizations. Most companies will match contributions dollar for dollar to double your gift. The next time you volunteer or make a donation, contact your employer for a matching gift form. It's one of the easiest ways to double and sometimes triple your gift.

You will then be enrolled for the current year of the donation program and Kroger will contribute funds to help our girls & young women.
