Kroger is teaming up with the Memphis Police Department and News Channel 3 to collect food for the Mid-South Food Bank. Donations of food often drop off after the holiday season, but the demand is very real. People in our region might go hungry without the help the food bank and your donations provide.
Here’s all you have to do:
Bring or buy non-perishable food to fill up a Memphis Police cruiser at these Kroger stores on Friday, January 12 from 6 a.m. to 6 p.m.
All food will be donated to the Mid-South Food Bank.

According to updated Map the Meal Gap research released by Feeding America, in Mid-South Food Bank’s 31-county service area, more than 404,000 people, or 20.2% of the population, is food insecure. This is a decrease from last year, when the figures were 423,000 and 20.6%, respectively. The rate of child food insecurity decreased slightly, from 24.1% to 22.3 %. However, more than 114,000 Mid-South children are food insecure.
Food insecurity is a term frequently used hunger studies. It is defined as “not always having access to enough food to meet basic needs.”
Mid-South Food Bank was founded in 1981. A 501(c)(3) charitable organization, we are a member of Feeding America, the national network of food banks. We are a founding member of the Safety Net Collaborative.
