Kroger and The Kroger Family of Companies have announced a commitment to raise $1 million for families impacted by the devastating wildfires in the Los Angeles region.
“We strive to fulfill our purpose, to Feed the Human Spirit, every day, and especially when disaster strikes,” Kroger CEO Rodney McMullen said. “Our associates are always among the first to support our communities during natural disasters, and the situation in southern California is no different. I’m so proud of how quickly our teams have worked to reopen stores that were temporarily closed by the wildfires to ensure we’re a resource for customers who need fresh food, pantry staples and necessities such as water and ice. Our hearts are with everyone affected by this tragedy – especially our team of associates and their extended families – and we are grateful to the first responders working so hard to protect our communities.”
