CLARKSVILLE, Tenn. (CLARKSVILLENOW)- Kroger is inviting customers to join them in support of Second Harvest Food Bank of Middle Tennessee.  

The food bank has seen around a 50% increase in the need for food throughout their 46-county service area.

Many children, families, and seniors are struggling to make ends, so putting food on the table is a challenge.

Through its Kroger Zero Hunger Zero Waste Foundation COVID-19 Emergency Response Fund, Kroger is making it easy for anyone to help.  The company has also made a $25,000 contribution to support the food bank.

“We are happy to support Second Harvest Food Bank of Middle Tennessee during this unprecedented time,” said Melissa Eads, corporate affairs manager for the Kroger Nashville division.  “They are working hard to get food to those in need, and we know that many will want to join us in showing their support.”

To make a donation Kroger customers can either round up their grocery order to the nearest dollar, or choose to donate $1, $5, or $10 at checkout.

The funds collected will be sent to Second Harvest to assist them with their COVID-19 response efforts.
