Pick up a poppy and support local veterans
A two-day Buddy Poppy distribution at Delhi Kroger in Cincinnati, supporting veterans programs and offering an easy way to contribute before Memorial Day.
Event details
Buddy Poppy Days at Delhi Kroger offers a simple, meaningful stop on your Memorial Day weekend itinerary. At the Delhi Kroger on Delhi Road, local veterans and volunteers distribute the classic red Buddy Poppy and welcome donations that fund veterans support and assistance programs in the area. You can add purpose to an everyday grocery run while keeping your holiday plans on schedule.
Expect a calm, community-forward feel near the store entrance, where volunteers are ready to share the poppy’s history and explain what your contribution supports. It is family-friendly, and it is an easy way to help kids understand why the poppy matters. Parking is the standard Kroger lot, free and close to the entrance.
Go in the late morning if you want a few minutes to speak with volunteers before the midday rush. Bring small bills or change for a quick donation. If rain moves in, distribution typically continues under the entry overhang or inside the vestibule.
Afterward, keep the day moving with a short drive to the Ohio River for a waterfront walk or a picnic at a nearby park. If you are staying overnight, base yourself downtown near the riverfront or in historic river-adjacent neighborhoods. We often start with Lake.com for curated hotels and home rentals that fit a Memorial Day weekend schedule.
