According to Kroger Dallas Corporate Affairs Manager John Votava,
“Kroger’s Backpack Boosters campaign is back to equip students across DFW with the essential tools they need for a successful school year. For years, our incredibly generous Kroger customers have joined with our enthusiastic associates in giving kids, teachers and school districts a much-needed head start throughout the communities we serve.
“Kroger Dallas Division’s annual Backpack Boosters school supply drive benefits underserved students in independent school districts in DFW and other areas. Beginning Wednesday, July 10, through Tuesday, July 23, Kroger customers will have the opportunity to help at checkout by donating a school supply kit for $10 or donate $1, $3 or $5. Customers shopping through online delivery or pickup can also donate online. The goal for the 2024 campaign is $260,000, which translates to more than 26,000 students.
“Once the campaign has concluded, the purchased school supply kits, which include essential items for students – including pencils, paper, glue, notebooks and more – will be distributed to schools in pre-selected local school districts across Kroger’s Dallas Division, including North Texas.
“Since the Backpack Boosters program launched, Kroger has expanded the program to reach more school districts with a high volume of students in need.
