The USO, the leading nonprofit organization supporting U.S. service members and their families, and Kroger’s Atlanta Division have teamed up for the “Kick Hunger to the Sidelines | Stuff the Truck” food drive, inviting customers to donate items that will support military service members and their families.
The food drive will be held from noon to 4 p.m. Sunday, July 12, at the Powers Ferry Kroger, 1310 Powers Ferry Road SE in Marietta. The USO | Kroger Mobile Food Truck will be on-site during the event.
