Support our School with King Soopers Fundraising
We have enrolled into the King Soopers/City Market rewards. This is an amazing way to help your school while purchasing groceries you already buy. You can share this information with friends and family who also use King Soopers for their shopping. We made $585 last Spring thanks to families utilizing this program.
What
This program makes fundraising easy by donating to local organizations based on the shopping you do every day. Once you link your card to an organization, all you have to do is shop at King Soopers and swipe your Shopper’s Card. This is at no extra cost to you or your grocery purchases.
When
Every time you shop make sure to swipe or enter your phone number with your Shopper’s Card.
How
In the King Soopers app or website sign in to your account.
