Now through April 30th, 2012, customers can help local residents by donating their spare change at any Dallas-Fort Worth Kroger locations. Kroger will MATCH customer donations up to $50,000 and 100% of donations will benefit the American Red Cross.

Albertsons customers will be able to help provide relief to local area residents affected by the tornadoes that swept across North Texas this past Tuesday. A cash donation of $1, $3 and $5 can be made at the register and will support The Salvation Army's disaster relief efforts. "Albertsons stores and customers have traditionally stepped up to support the efforts of the The Salvation Army during times of national crisis," said Wayne Denningham, President Albertsons LLC Southern Division. "The impact of the devastating tornadoes in the DFW Metroplex will present recovery challenges for many weeks to come. Our in-store fundraising campaign gives us the opportunity to respond quickly to support the efforts of great organizations like The Salvation Army as emergencies arise." In-store donations at Albertsons locations in Arizona, Arkansas, Colorado, Florida, Louisiana, New Mexico and Texas will be collected through April 27, 2012. Read more...
