		Donate to CCFA While Shopping At Your Favorite Grocery Store. Tom Thumb Good Neighbor Program If your Reward Card is not already linked to CCFA, just give your card to the cashier and ask that CCFA's account number (3318) be linked to your card. Once the number is entered on the card, it will automatically give CCFA credit on all future purchases. Tom Thumb allows up to three organizations per household to be linked. Your total purchase amount will be divided equally among the organizations designated on the Reward cards in each household. KrogerPLUS Card Follow the steps below to link your Plus Card to CCFA • Go to krogerneighbortoneighbor.com and click on "Find Your Organization." • Under "Search by city and state:" enter "Dallas " and "TX" and then click "Search" and you will find "CROHN'S COLITIS FOUNDATION OF AMERICA NORTH TEXAS CHAPTER — DALLAS, TX". When you click on our name, a customer letter will appear with a barcode specific to CCFA at the bottom. • Take the customer letter with you the next time you go shopping and give it to the cashier when you check out. The cashier will be able to link your card to our account using the barcode on the letter. These programs are designed to donate back a percentage of your total bill to CCFA. Through these programs, we can generate desparately needed funds to help our research and education programs. Volunteer We welcome all interested people to help in the fight against IBD.
