Buy Your Groceries, Save A Trout Stream
Michigan Trout Unlimited announces a new, easy way to support TU in our state and the work that the Council does. AND, IT DOES NOT COST YOU ONE DIME.
If you do your grocery shopping at Kroger or its affiliate stores in the state, your grocery purchases will earn cash for Michigan TU through the company’s Kroger Community Rewards Program.
With a simple one-time registration into the program, Kroger will donate 5% of your grocery purchases each and every time you do your shopping. That’s right…your grocery shopping generates a cash donation to TU from Kroger! That’s right…no cost to you!
This program is a ridiculously easy way to donate a few bucks a week to coldwater conservation every time you do your grocery shopping. Kroger’s program uses your existing Kroger Plus customer card…there is no separate card, matching payment, or minimum purchase requirement.
The Kroger Community Rewards Program can potentially raise thousands of dollars a year for Michigan TU efforts to preserve and protect wild trout and salmon. The key is that YOU NEED TO SIGN UP…AND GET YOUR BUDDIES, CHAPTER MEMBERS, AND FAMILY MEMBERS TO SIGN UP TOO!
SIGN UP NOW. THAT MEANS NOW. IT’S QUICK AND EASY TO DO FROM YOUR COMPUTER. YOU’LL ONLY BE AWAY FROM YOUR FLY TYING BENCH FOR FIVE MINUTES…HONEST!
HERE’S HOW TO SIGN-UP AND TURN YOUR GROCERY DOLLARS INTO CASH-FOR-COLDWATER-CONSERVATION.

The “Compact” & Michigan’s implementation of it The Great Lakes – St. Lawrence River Basin Water Resources Compact, more often referred to as the “Great Lakes Compact”, was approved and went into effect on October 3, 2008 (Public Law 110-342, 110th Congress). This agreement of the United States, governs the conditions in which the eight Great Lakes states can accept or reject proposals for diversions of water from the Great Lakes basin. It also mandates that each of those Great Lakes states will manage and regulate new or increased water withdrawals within their jurisdictions. The State of Michigan chose to implement this requirement of the Great Lakes Compact, during the legislative process associated with passage of the Great Lakes Compact by the State of Michigan (in contrast to other states postponing fulfillment of these obligations until after they approved the Great Lakes Compact). Michigan approved the Great Lakes Compact on July 9, 2008 (MI Act 451 of 1994, Section 324.34201), and adopted its system of regulating withdrawals within the state along with it (MI Act 451 of 1994, Section 324.327).
