Please see details below on how your purchases at Kroger can help SBA. If you haven’t already, please consider making SBA your Kroger Community Rewards school of choice.
If you shop at Kroger – you likely have a Kroger Plus card on your keychain. Please go to the rewards program website at www.krogercommunityrewards.com and follow the steps to create an account. St. Benedict’s number is 80116. Remember your password and sign-in because this program requires you to choose your Community Rewards School sign-up each year. Once you have completed this process, a portion of every shopping trip you make using your Kroger Plus card will support St. Benedict High School.
Last year, through this program, SBA was presented a check for over $9500 from Kroger and this quarter (May 1- and July 30) we have already received over $3500. This is all with on 274 families signed up. Just think what we can do if everyone participated!
