“The Kroger Co. believes the Greater Cincinnati and Miami Valley areas are among the best places to work and live,” said Geoff Covert, President of Kroger’s Cincinnati/Dayton Division. “There is no better way to use this commission than to donate it back to our community. We have relationships with hundreds of organizations whose work in our neighborhoods is integral to the betterment of the lives of each and every one of us. With the tough economic times organizations are facing this year, selecting the recipients was a long, difficult process but we believe we’ve chosen groups whose mission touches thousands of people’s lives in our great city.”
