And it won’t cost you any extra $$.

Here’s how it works. You’ll need a Kroger Plus Card that you can sign up for at any customer service desk at your local store.

Create a digital account if you don’t already have one. If you’ve ordered groceries online before, you likely have a digital account. You’ll need to have your Kroger Plus card Card handy to link to your account.

Log in to your account. Next, look for My Account on the top right of the screen and click it. Scroll down to find Community Rewards. You’ll see hundreds of organizations that can earn money when you link your digital account to your Kroger Plus Card. Search for VersAbility Resources by name or find by using its organization number: CR660. Make VersAbility your selection and remember to click “Save.”

The rest is easy. Swipe your Kroger card every time you shop. You’ll not only get discounts, fuel points and digital coupons. Kroger donates annually to the organization you selected (VersAbility Resources) based on your percentage of spending at it relates to the total spending associated with all participating Kroger Rewards Organizations.

Just by doing your regular shopping at Kroger, you’re benefitting VersAbility’s mission: for people with disabilities to live full and productive lives of their choosing.

Support Inclusion & VersAbility on World Autism Awareness Day

Posted on by Steph H

World Autism Awareness Day held annually on April 2 is one of seven official health specific days sanctioned by the United Nations.

Member states, which include the United States, are encouraged to raise awareness about autism on this day, highlighting the need to help improve the quality of life of those with autism so they can lead full and meaningful lives. VersAbility Resources operates with a similar mission of making sure people with disability lead full and productive lives of their choosing.

When you donate to VersAbility Resources, you’re contributing to making a better life to those with autism or another disability. If you have a family member or friend with autism, host a Facebook fundraiser on April 2 to support VersAbility Resources.

Autism or autism spectrum disorder refers to a broad range of lifelong conditions characterized by challenges with social skills, repetitive behaviors, speech and nonverbal communication, according to Autism Speaks, a nonprofit dedicated to creating an inclusive world for all individuals with autism.

If you suspect your child is on the autism spectrum, reach out to VersAbility’s Early Prevention and Intervention for Children (EPIC) program. Free developmental screenings are provided for any child living in Hampton and Newport News under the age of 3.

Blue is the color associated with World Autism Awareness Day. Wearing blue on April 2 symbolizes autism awareness and solidarity with the mission of not simply existing with autism but living life a life without limits.

While World Autism Awareness Day is only one day, appreciating differences, promoting understanding and making the world a more inclusive place is a 24/7/365 endeavor.
