“Each year, an increasing number of teachers are forced to use their own paycheck to purchase classroom supplies,” says Felix Turner, corporate affairs manager for Kroger’s Atlanta Division. “Our Teacher Supply Giveaway helps alleviate this pressure on teachers, by providing the tools they need to successfully educate our children.”
Educators with a valid Georgia teacher ID can receive up to $30 in free supplies on a first-come, first-serve basis at the Macon Centreplex Monument Room while supplies last.
The event coincides with the company’s purpose to Feed the Human Spirit and with the Kroger Community Rewards program, which launched in 2013. The program encourages Kroger’s customers to direct a portion of their spending to support local organizations that matter to them. Participants include schools, churches, synagogues, animal shelters and youth service organizations.
