Meijer customers helped us achieve record-breaking success in fighting hunger across the Midwest with their generous donations to the Simply Give program this fall. Collectively with our customers, we nearly doubled our previous record-breaking Simply Give campaign with a donation of more than $2.6 million to neighborhood food pantries across our five-state footprint.
All Meijer stores partner with a local food pantry during the Simply Give campaigns, which run three times a year. It’s important to us, and to our customers, that donations remain in local communities.
The fall campaign began in early August during the Meijer LPGA Classic presented by Kraft and ended in late September. During that time period, our customers donated more than $726,000. That commitment to supporting families in need, combined with a donation from Meijer, made it the most successful campaign since Simply Give began nearly 6 years ago. To date, the program has generated nearly $12 million.
