Kroger Community Rewards Program
If you do grocery shopping at Kroger (Pay Less in Greater Lafayette), Kroger will donate part of what you spend to WVAS or another approved non-profit organization (NPO) of your choosing. To do this, you need a registered Kroger/Pay Less PLUS Shopper’s Card which provides customer discounts. If you don’t yet have one of these cards, just go online to https://pay-less.com/account/create to register and get your card. The next step is to designate WVAS as your preferred NPO, as follows:
-
Go to https://pay-less.com and sign into your account.
-
Click on your account icon at the top of the page and select “My Account”.
-
On the My Account page, click on “Community Rewards” in the left column.
-
On the Community Rewards page, in the Pick an Organization box, enter either “Wabash Valley Astronomical Society” or our assigned NPO number, “DK999”.
That’s it! From this point on, whenever you scan your PLUS Shopper’s Card at a Pay Less or Kroger store when checking out, you’ll be benefitting WVAS.
