Please Help Support the Butterfly Garden

 One of the ways the Matzke Park Garden is helped for its maintenance and new plants is through the Kroger Good Neighborhood program.   Every 3 months Kroger sends a check (about $45) to the garden's supporting organization as described in the heading of this blog.  It is done through the use of your Kroger discount card being linked to ABCS. Although surprising, at the current time less than a dozen families are linked to the garden. Most folks are just not aware of this option for help.  Your fuel points are not impacted by signing up.

Here is how to sign up for the Kroger Good Neighbor program.

1.  You can tell if you are already signed up to support the garden by checking the bottom of a Kroger paper receipt.  It will tell you what, if any, organization you may already be supporting.  If it is our garden club, it will say Association for Better Community Schools.  This is ABCS which gives all of this money to the garden club. If your receipt indicates you are supporting some other organization, you can easily change with the instructions on the Kroger website below. 

2.  Assuming you have a Kroger card, you then need to have, or to sign up for, a "Digital Kroger Account" .  This will get you an email or two a week that provides "digital coupons" that automatically discount the items when you check out with your Kroger Card.

3.  Then you will need to "link" your Kroger card to the desired organization

4.  The ABCS organization has the NPO Number  WT732  that is all you need
