WE’RE MAKING A DIFFERENCE
Kidney Foundation of Northwest Ohio is the area’s leading advocacy and support system for individuals living with chronic kidney disease, their families, and physicians. Our goal is to ease the burden, both emotionally and financially, for those living with the disease as we increase prevention through public education.
Through a compassionate and caring team of staff and volunteers, KFNWO works to be the trusted ally in this region’s daily fight with Kidney Disease and is dedicated to helping people address the total problem of kidney disease and related disorders through:
- Direct and indirect family services
- Working cooperatively with the treatment team
- Making the community aware of the warning signs and the importance of early detection
- Promoting organ donation

PATIENT SERVICES PROGRAM
We raise funds to help patients overcome the daily challenges of kidney disease.

The Kroger Family of Companies is committed to community engagement, positive social impact and charitable giving at the national and local levels. Every community is unique, but our common goal is to partner with the neighborhoods we serve and help the people there live healthier lives.
This program makes fundraising easy by donating to local organizations based on the shopping you do every day. Once you link your Card to an organization, all you have to do is shop at Kroger and swipe your Shopper’s Card.

“They came to my rescue at a needed time. I didn’t know which way I was going to go with my medications. They really brought tears to my eyes when I got the letter saying I was approved. I’m so thankful for the Kidney Foundation!”
Kidney disease is a life-long family adjustment to embrace: by education and understanding all aspects. By remaining optimistic with the support of family, friends, and community. By collaborating with the healthcare team, by taking one day at a time and living life with joy and purpose.
