Kroger's $3.8M promise of books, arts, help to Indianapolis school children

Robert King:

Kroger announced a new $3.8-million investment in local schools and education programs today, including a plan to collect book donations at every store and to redistribute them to children across the city.

The grocery store chain's three-year "K-12 education strategy" will support youth programs through 10 organizations ranging from the United Way to the Children's Museum of Indianapolis to the Indianapolis Opera.

It will also extend Kroger's long-term support of Indianapolis Public School 46, a Near Westside school who has received more than $1 million from Kroger during the past 25 years.
