Help EastMont by shopping at Kroger

Shop with a Kroger Cares gift card and help eastern Montgomery County every time you buy groceries.

Last year, Mountain Valley Charitable Foundation earned more than $1,000 from folks who participated in the Kroger Cares program.

It costs you nothing!

Just load your card with money and then use it like a debit card when you shop or buy Kroger gas. You still earn all Kroger discounts and benefits, and Mountain Valley earns 5 percent of the amount you load onto the card.

Email us today to get your card or call 540.556.2879.
