National grocery store chain donates to Johnson County relief

Whiteland, Indiana – Many people in the neighborhood have volunteered to help in any way they can due to the extensive damage caused by the storm on Friday night, including a major grocery store chain.

On Saturday morning, Kroger stated that it has begun accepting donations at its central Indiana retail locations in support of the Johnson County relief efforts.

Customers will be able to give at Kroger during in-store checkout, according to spokesperson Eric Halvorson. Customers will be able to choose how much to donate at the register when cashiers have the option to ring up a “disaster relief” donation.

According to Halvorson, this donation differs from the regular round-up donation Kroger uses to fight hunger.

Also, on Saturday, Halvorson informed the Whiteland Police Department through Twitter that Kroger would be providing Johnson County’s shelters with pallets of water and snack food.

Also, a number of other nearby companies and residents have donated money. Whiteland Police announced on Twitter that they have run out of space to store donations and that they will let people know when they are required again.
