We take our commitment to helping the communities we serve seriously, and we’re proud to say that the support and contributions of our team members help make that possible. For the fourth consecutive year, Meijer team members have raised $3 million for the United Way Workforce Campaign, which aims to improve people’s lives by meeting critical needs of the community.
Meijer has supported the United Way since the first store opened in 1934, and today extends the opportunity to our more than 65,000 team members to support the United Way by making a pledge taken through weekly payroll deductions. Each year, we collect the pledges after a three-week campaign and distribute the donations to 78 individual United Way organizations throughout our five-state footprint.
The $3 million donation from generous Meijer team members will make a big impact on the 2015 United Way Workforce campaign by creating waves of change in education, income and health to improve the lives of people in in our communities.
