Zero Hunger | Zero Waste

Kroger’s Zero Hunger | Zero Waste impact plan addresses a fundamental problem in our food system: collectively, we produce more than enough food to feed everyone, yet Americans still struggle with hunger.

We believe everyone deserves access to the fresh, healthy food they need to thrive.

And Kroger works tirelessly to improve food access through strategic charitable giving, surplus food donations, and coalitions of action in our communities to improve food and nutrition security now and in the future.

To date we've reached incredible milestones:

• We’ve donated 3.4 billion meals and 1.5 billion dollars to feed more people in our communities.

• We’ve rescued 700 million pounds of fresh surplus food with 100% of our stores actively donating food.

• We’ve implemented food waste recycling programs across 95% of our stores through animal feed, composting or anaerobic digestion.
