Fundraising

Kroger Community Rewards Program

The Kroger Rebate/Gift Card program has been replaced with Kroger Community Rewards Program. Kroger is no longer tracking contributions to individual accounts. The proceeds still benefit the Troop and the funds are now designated to the Troop. We would ask that you still help with contributions as it's an easy way to help support the Troop.

Contact Jodi Reynolds if you would like a new Rewards Card to help donate funds to the Troop.

Aluminum Cans for Cash

The Troop is collecting cans and turning them into cash. All cash procedes are accumulated iin a troop account that the PLC can use to fund projects, events, or items for the troop. They've purchased a ping-pong table for the Church, Ground Effects Lighting for the Bus, New stoves, lanterns, and water jugs. Great Work!

The monthly collection day for aluminum cans will be the 1st meeting of each month. Please bring crushed cans and place them in the bins for bagging.
