Garland Amateur Radio Club Rewards
The club partners with several organizations that donate a percentage of their sales to GARC. See the short descriptions below and click on the links for more details.
​
Amazon Smile
Amazon has a program called Amazon Smile that allows a customer to specify a 501(c)(3) organization to which Amazon will donate .5% of the price of his or her purchases. This is basically a front-end to your regular Amazon account. There are no extra charges and you can use Amazon Prime if you have a Prime account. With enough participants, this small percentage can really add up for the club.

Grocery Store Programs
GARC is in partnerships with Kroger and Tom Thumb. There are slight differences in their programs and how they pay out, but both reward the club with a contribution to our treasury based on how much the participants spend at their stores. These programs do not cost you, the consumer, anything extra and they help pay some of our expenses.
Both stores require you to have an online account (free) and to sign up with their Reward Card or Plus Card program (see below). You do not always need to have your card with you when you shop, because the phone number you use when signing up works as your alternate ID at checkout. Both stores have discounts on weekly specials when you use their Card.
​
Kroger
The Kroger rewards program is called Community Rewards, and it is tacked on to the Kroger Plus Card. Once you have created a Kroger online account, go to the Community Rewards page and enroll. The GARC NPO# is JB012. When you check out, use your Plus Card or phone number. GARC will be credited with your purchases.
