As the holiday season approaches, it is the perfect time to see a company\u2019s morals and what is really important to them. What are their holiday hours? Are they giving back? How are the employees treated? These questions will all be answered within the next month and it will be extremely easy to see if a company\u2019s actions match its words.\u00a0 If actions do speak louder than words, then Kroger\u2019s actions are even louder and more eloquent than the words listed on its website. Honesty, Integrity, Respect, Diversity, Safety, and Inclusion; these are Kroger\u2019s six core values that are not just nominally laid out on its website, but are easily seen. As Thanksgiving approaches it also means Black Friday is close behind, and while Kroger will be open on both days, it does not make it a heartless company. The difference between this company and many others is that while it exists to make money, it also goes above and beyond to spend and donate it for a good cause. While I touched on some of the company\u2019s work in the Recession Buster, it has done much more than I could ever list in a few paragraphs.<\/p>\n

Recently, its Twitter boasts, \u201cWe are donating 30 million meals this Holiday season to local food banks!\u201d As a past Kroger\u2019s shopper (only past because I moved) I can attest to the fact that the store is always doing something for the community. During the holidays, I can remember the store always having donation tables for food pantries and Christmas gifts for underprivileged families. Outside, there was someone ringing a bell, collecting money for a charity, and giving away candy canes. It was a place that you could go to for more than just shopping, but for giving. To get, you have to give, and Kroger has been giving back since it was founded.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
