Kroger Health has announced that over 250,000 middle and high school students have now completed its Prescription Drug Safety: Know the truth program, delivered at no cost through its partnership with Everfi. Since the initiative began in the 2017–18 academic year with just 700 participants, annual enrollment has surged to nearly 65,000 students in 2024–25. Pre- and post-program assessments indicate that participants significantly improve their understanding of safe use, storage and disposal of prescription medications, and report feeling better prepared to support peers who may be affected by prescription drug misuse. Kroger Health President Colleen Lindholz highlighted that this milestone underscores the division’s long-term commitment to community health education and building resilience among young people.

In a strategic expansion of its e-commerce capabilities, Kroger has activated almost 2,700 of its Family of Companies’ stores on Uber Eats, Uber and Postmates. Shoppers can now access fresh groceries, private-label products and household essentials from banners including Ralphs, Fred Meyer, King Soopers, Smith’s and Fry’s, with same-day and on-demand delivery options. To celebrate the rollout, first-time customers receive discounts of up to 50% on eligible orders, while Uber One members benefit from zero delivery fees on qualifying purchases. Kroger Digital Experience VP Jody Kalmbach emphasized that the partnership aims to meet evolving customer expectations for flexibility and convenience, reinforcing Kroger’s omnichannel strategy and broadening its reach within urban and suburban markets.
