LOUISVILLE, Ky. — If you plan to go grocery shopping this weekend for the Super Bowl, officials are encouraging you to add a few items to your cart to help your local domestic violence program. 

The 14th annual Shop & Share event, a goods drive benefitting survivors of domestic violence and their children in programs throughout Kentucky, kicks off on Saturday. 

From 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., in-store shoppers can access the list of items needed by their local shelter program by visiting the volunteer table at participating Kroger's or by scanning a QR code displayed on signs at the store entrance.

The event is hosted by First Lady Britainy Beshear and the Kentucky Coalition Against Domestic Violence in partnership with Kroger, Food City, IGA and Super Dollar.
