Donate to Community Ministry While Buying Groceries at Kroger
Did you know you can donate to the Community Ministry when you buy your groceries? If you shop for groceries at Kroger, here’s a way to help at no additional cost to you. To do this, use your current account or set up a digital account using your Kroger Card by going to Kroger.com. Sign in to your account and select My Account in the menu under your name (upper right hand corner). On the next page, Find and Select Community Rewards. That will take you to the directions to set up Kroger Rewards on your account. When prompted for the organization, search for Walnut Street Baptist Church CSM/IRP or the code VP528. Select and save. When you shop, the Walnut Street name will appear at the bottom of your receipt. The Community Ministry quarterly receives a check of a percentage of everything that you buy. Detailed information may be found by clicking the Community Rewards link at the bottom of the Kroger.com website. For additional assistance, contact Janet Pearson (jpearson@walnutstreet.org).

October Assistance Report
The number of people living in food insecure households in the United States grew drastically in 2025. Newly released data indicates 1 in 6 Kentuckians, including 1 in 5 children live in food insecure households. The Community Ministry statistics for the month of October are local proof of that national trend. During October the WSBC Community Ministries with the help of Dare to Care and donations from supporters provided food for 1,062 individuals. We also provided produce for 797 individuals and personal care hygiene and/or household items for 110 homes. The Infant Resource Mission provided necessities for 78 babies and toddlers. As these statistics continue to rise, let us remember that each number represents a person that is in need. We ask for your prayers to help us meet the increasing needs.
