How Your Organization Earns
To enroll:
Kroger Plus Card members will need to register their Kroger card with Hope House by going to Kroger.com/communityrewards. In their Account Summary, there will be a “Community Rewards” section at the bottom where they can sign up to have Hope House connected to their Kroger card (using #10405).
If the card holder cannot register online for whatever reason, they should call 800-576-4377 and have their Kroger card number/organization number available. A representative can register their Kroger benefits to go to HH over the phone.
What Your Organization Earns
Kroger will pay up to $600,000 on an annual basis to participating organizations based on their percentage of spending as it relates to the total spending of all participating Kroger Community Rewards organizations.
Kroger limits a quarterly household contribution to $300. Minimum cycle rebate payout is $25 per organization. In the event that an organization earns less than $25 in a cycle, Kroger will hold the amount until the next cycle that the rebate exceeds $25 or the end of the program term, whichever comes first.
Maximum annual rebate payout is $24,000 per organization.
Paige Miller is the Compliance Officer for Hope House, a nonprofit residential and intensive outpatient substance use treatment facility in Augusta, Georgia. She is also a young person in recovery from substance use disorder, and serves as the treatment representative for the local Drug Free Communities Coalition in the CSRA, as well as the Young People in Recovery (YPR) Chapter Lead for Augusta.
Paige helped to organize a recovery community development project, called Recovery On My Mind, in March of 2015 that brought together over 300 community members, along with other annual recovery community events. Her local advocacy includes initiatives around: employment, education, and housing for those in recovery, especially young people.
Paige is also a Certified Addiction Recovery Empowerment Specialist (CARES) and Certified Preventionist in the state of Georgia and has a passion for working with individuals not only seeking treatment and in recovery, but also in promoting positive youth development for at-risk youth and children with parents suffering from substance use disorder. The mission of Georgia CARES’s is to promote long-term recovery from substance use disorders by providing experienced peer support and advocating for self-directed care. We envision a recovery-oriented system of care that supports self-directed pathways to recovery by building on the strengths and resilience of individuals, families and communities.
“I am a person in long-term recovery, and for me that means that I haven’t had a drink of alcohol or used an illicit drug since I was 22 years old. But for me, my recovery is so much more than abstinence from alcohol or other drugs, it’s truly the ability to live a healthy and meaningful life. As a result of my recovery, I am a better daughter, sister, aunt, employee, and friend. I am a volunteer in my community, I pay taxes, and I vote. And I speak loudly and proudly about my own recovery because I believe that everyone deserves the same opportunities I had to get and stay well. Recovery is age independent, and I’m living proof. I’m proud to work at an organization like Hope House that helps women get well. Because of community support, we are able to help local daughters, sisters, aunts, mothers, and friends. Individual and corporations’ donations and volunteerism show our women that their community cares about them and their families, and in turn, our women become employees and tax payers in the CSRA. Thank you to all of those who support Hope House and our mission!”
I am a woman in long term recovery. For me, that means I haven’t used any mind altering substances to change my reality since August 2013. I am also in recovery from mental health disorders.
Recovery has opened up a world for me I never knew existed. I wake up in the morning eager to face the possibilities of the day. I have friends that I adore and a partner that is supportive of my passion. My heart is truly full of joy. Because of my recovery, I have discovered my passion for the first time in my life. I now have the privilege of working with other ladies in recovery. I get to show them that recovery is possible and that life can get better. While life still happens and it’s not always pleasant, I can face it head on knowing that it is temporary. Recovery has given me a life worth living and I can’t wait to see what is coming next.

I am excited about bringing resources to others trying to get well. I speak loud and proud about my recovery to bring hope to other people who have a desire to get well.
We have several successful women that have obtained employment and moving into independent living!
Moving can be a great cost for many of our women, and they are eager to return to their community. We are in need of: decorative kitchen towels, place mats, dish cloths, paper towels, table cloths, and bathroom sets. Please contact Gail Darby at 706.737.9879 ext. 206 if you are interested in donating!
