Backpack Boosters

  • Kroger is pleased to again collaborate with FOX 26 to help 45,000 students start the new school year off right through the Backpack Boosters campaign.
  • Supporters can join us in preparing students for success by visiting an area Kroger through August 2 and either purchasing a school supply kit for $9.99 or by donating $2, $5, or $10 at the register. It’s that easy.
  • This is our community’s opportunity to rally together to make a difference in the lives of deserving children and help them maximize their learning potential.

  • Supporter’s generosity will provide essential school supplies to students across the region. Every donation is meaningful.
  • Educators cite that having access to key school supplies are vital to a child’s academic progression, and Backpack Boosters helps fill the gap and alleviate the burden often placed on teachers to provide supplies at their own expense.
