About the Kroger Community Awards Program
|  If you have not already signed up for the Kroger Community Awards program please consider it. If you need help, contact Rick Grenzke or the church office. This program builds credits for St. Paul every time you use your Kroger Plus Card. Every three months, St. Paul receives a donation check from Kroger based on the volume of our usage. Last year we received over $1,800 dollars. It's easy and helps St. Paul.
This program does not impact your Kroger points. It is separate from any other program Kroger offers, so it is a win-win program for all of us. Please consider signing up.
