KROGER COMMUNITY REWARDS PROGRAM
Support the Dallas A&M Club while shopping at Kroger. The DAMC recently enrolled in the Kroger Community Rewards Program, which requires our supporters to annually link their Kroger Plus Card via their Kroger digital account. Please consider signing into your account, accessing the account summary, scrolling down to the Community Rewards section, and selecting the Dallas A&M Club, organization #54552. Once complete, all you have to do is shop at Kroger and swipe your Plus Card! Kroger will then pay the DAMC quarterly based on our percentage of spending as it relates to the total spending of all participating Kroger Community Rewards organizations.

Please note that organization selections for the 2015-2016 program year close on August 31.

TOM THUMB GOOD NEIGHBOR PROGRAM
Support the Dallas A&M Club while shopping at Tom Thumb. Complete the Good Neighbor Program form by linking your Reward Card to the DAMC account: charity #5451; and then drop the form off at the courtesy booth of your neighborhood Tom Thumb. Up to three Tom Thumb Good Neighbor charitable organizations may be linked to each card; your total purchase amount will be divided equally. Tom Thumb will then pay the DAMC quarterly a percentage of our account total; so be sure to use your Reward Card every time you shop!
