The Kroger Co. is one of the largest retailers in the United States, serving millions of customers every day through nearly 2,800 supermarkets and other retail formats. Kroger operates under various banners across 35 states and the District of Columbia, and it ranks as one of the top grocery providers in America in both revenue and store count.

This program exemplifies Kroger’s corporate responsibility towards impacting society positively and addressing key issues such as food security and environmental sustainability.
