On Saturday, March 29 at 9:00 a.m., Kroger’s Atlanta Division, the Savannah Tree Foundation and the Arbor Day Foundation are hosting a Spring Tree Giveaway at the Kroger Marketplace located at 318 Mall Blvd. Thanks to a Kroger Co.

“At Kroger, our purpose is to feed the human spirit and our mission is Zero Hunger | Zero Waste.

We know that when someone picks up and plants a tree on March 29, it will foster a smile and a healthier environment for generations to come.”

“In a changing world, trees are a crucial part of creating sustainable and resilient cities. That’s why it’s so important for business leaders to be bold enough to meet this moment with trees and action,” said Dan Morrow, Vice President of Programs & Partnerships at the Arbor Day Foundation. “These community trees will provide meaningful, lasting impact and we are grateful Kroger is bold enough to believe a better world is possible through trees.”

The Spring Tree Giveaway will start at 9:00 a.m. in the Mall Blvd Kroger parking lot. 500 trees will be distributed on a first come, first serve basis. There is a limit of up to two trees per household.
