News Release

Banks Historical Society Accepted Into Fred Meyer Community Rewards Program - 02/10/26

Fred Meyer shoppers can now use their Fred Meyer Rewards card to help support the Banks Historical Society while still earning their own points and rewards.

 

 

The Banks Historical Society today announced that it has been accepted into the Fred Meyer Community Rewards Program. Now shoppers with a Fred Meyer Rewards account can designate Banks Historical Society to receive a quarterly donation from Fred Meyer. There’s no cost to the shopper, and rewards members still maintain all their points and benefits from using their Fred Meyer Rewards card.

 

“This is a wonderful way to help support the Banks Historical Society’s educational, preservation and community engagement programs by doing something you would be doing anyway – shopping and buying gas,” said Carol Rosenblith, treasurer of the Banks Historical Society. “It costs you nothing, but every small donation makes a big difference to us and our community.”

 

To Use the Fred Meyer Community Rewards Program:

 

Use your existing card – or get a Fred Meyer Rewards card at any Fred Meyer store customer service desk – and use it to sign up for a Fred Meyer online account at fredmeyer.com.

  • Log into your into your Fred Meyer online account
  • Click on the Community Rewards tab on the left panel of the account dashboard
  • Search for “Banks Historical Society” either by name or by entering the Fred Meyer Non-Profit Organization (NPO) number: HU062 and click ENROLL.

Once enrolled, Fred Meyer Community Rewards don’t cost the shopper a cent – but every purchase made using the rewards card will help support the Banks Historical Society.

 

How does this cost-free charitable giving work? 

 

Fred Meyer maintains a pool of funds it designates for charitable giving to qualifying participating non-profit organizations, like the Banks Historical Society. 

At the end of each quarter, Fred Meyer makes a donation to each of these participating non-profits in an amount based on the percentage of spending by supporters, as it relates to the total spending of all participating Fred Meyer Community Reward organizations.

 

About the Banks Historical Society

 

The mission of the Banks Historical Society is to preserve, protect, and promote the history and heritage of Banks, Oregon – and all municipalities and rural areas within the Banks School District – through educational programs, exhibitions, community engagement and recognition of local, state and national historic landmarks and resources in the service area. The all-volunteer Banks Historical Society is organized exclusively for charitable, educational, and historical purposes under Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code. Learn more or make a tax-deductible donation at bankshistory.org.
