Kroger customers and associates in four stores in Hall County raised almost $15,000 for the grocer’s annual “Round-Up” campaign in support of the United Service Organization, also known as the USO.

They contributed $14,878.

From June 25-July 8, Kroger customers rounded up purchases to the nearest dollar with the difference benefiting the USO. Donations will be used to provide financial assistance to service members and their families.
