Kroger Neighborhood Rewards Program Is Changing To Kroger Community Rewards Program

We received word from Kroger that the Kroger Neighborhood Rewards Program is being replaced by the Kroger Community Rewards Program. This new program will be tied to your Kroger Plus Card. All members need to enroll their Kroger Plus Cards online at the Kroger secure website. Your Plus Card can only be tied to one organization.

Note: The Kroger Neighborhood Rewards gift card that you load with money prior to purchases became obsolete as of April 30, 2012. You will still be able to use your gift card if money remains, but you will not be able to reload the card after April 30, 2012.

As of May 1, 2012, every time an enrolled member of our group shops at Kroger using his or her Kroger Plus Card, OA will earn rewards. Once a household member enrolls all linked Kroger Plus Cards within that household will begin earning funds for OA. Kroger will pay up to $1,250,000 on a quarterly basis to participating organizations based on their percentage of spending as it relates to the total spending of all participating Kroger Community Reward organizations.
