Kroger's Atlanta Division, which includes Georgia, South Carolina and parts of Tennessee and Alabama, recently raised more than $385,000 for the Children's Miracle Network.

During a three week period, customers and employees could buy hot-air balloon icons, commonly known as "Miracle Balloons," to help fund medical care and outreach programs for local children.

Donations made through the fundraiser will directly benefit those communities in which they were raised.
