Miller High School has partnered with Kroger’s Community Rewards. A portion of each sale made at Kroger will be donated to our school to help with the cost of student agendas, awards, and many more items.

To Use the Kroger Community Rewards Program:

*Customers must have a registered Kroger rewards card account to link to your organization.

*If you do not yet have a Kroger rewards card, they are available at the customer service desk at any Kroger.

*This will not affect your fuel points or cost you any additional money.

USDA Summer Meals for Kids Site Finder

USDA works closely with states to ensure that children who receive on free or reduced-price school meals can get the nutrition they need when schools are closed – whether during summer break or unexpected closures during the school year. Through USDA's summer meal programs, approved sites in communities across the country can serve meals to kids up to age 18 at no cost. Families can use this tool to find directions to nearby meal sites, as well as their hours of operation and contact information.

As of May 18, 2023 the site finder has data for 25 states, and includes: AK, AR, AZ, CA, CO, FL, IA, IL, IN, KS, KY, LA, MO, MT, NC, ND, OH, OR, PA, SC, SD, TN, TX, VA, WI.

Families seeking food assistance for their children can also contact the USDA National Hunger Hotline, operated by Hunger Free America.
