3. More information on Amazon Smile and Kroger Rewards.

Did you know you can support PACA activities just by shopping at Kroger? It’s easy when you enroll in Kroger Community Rewards®! To get started, sign up with your existing Plus Card, and select account #81930 when prompted to list an organization. If you do not currently have a Kroger Community Rewards® account and Kroger Rewards card, you will first have to create an account.
Once you’re enrolled, you’ll earn rewards for PACA every time you shop and use your Plus Card! Importantly, Kroger does not sell, trade or rent enrolees’ personal information to outside companies or marketing firms. For more information, read their complete Privacy Policy online at www.Kroger.com.
Important – Kroger requires enrollees to re-register annually to ensure the funding commitments they make are as accurate as possible and go to the organization an individual specifies in each given year.
 

AmazonSmile is a simple and automatic way for you to support PACA activities and grants every time you shop, at no cost to you. When you shop at smile.amazon.com, you’ll find the exact same low prices, vast selection and convenient shopping experience as Amazon.com, with the added bonus the AmazonSmile Foundation will donate 0.5% of the purchase price from your eligible AmazonSmile purchases to PACA.
How to register PACA as your selected charitable organization
