"Backpack Boosters is a program that presents our customers and employees an easy way to help local students succeed in the classroom," Joy Partain, public affairs manager for Kroger, said. "Having the proper school supplies are important to a student's emotional health and academic progression. Regardless of a student's socio-economic environment, no child should have to go without the essential tools we collect during this initiative."
