Simply Give
Feeding those in need across the Midwest is a mission we take to heart, and the Meijer Simply Give hunger relief program plays a vital role in that effort. Each year, the program provides essential funding to nearly 500 participating food pantries throughout the region.
The success of Simply Give is made possible not only by our contributions but also through the generosity of our customers. We invite shoppers to add $10 Simply Give donation cards to their purchases at checkout. Those donation cards are then converted into food-only gift cards that are distributed to local food pantry partners.
Since its inception in 2008, Simply Give has contributed more than $100 million to food pantry partners across the region – a testament to the impact of collective giving.

Meijer works with all parts of the hunger relief system including both food banks and food pantries. Food banks are large-scale operations that service dozens of smaller-scale food pantries that, in turn, service a smaller geographic region. This cooperative system is designed to efficiently get food to those who need it the most.

Meijer demonstrates its commitment to education by organizing backpack donation events that provide essential school supplies to students in need. Through these initiatives, Meijer helps ensure children are equipped for success as they begin the new school year.

Meijer is committed to sustainability and social responsibility by partnering with Flashfood to offer surplus food at reduced prices through an app, while also donating to local food banks and community organizations.

Each year, the Meijer LPGA Classic for Simply Give draws some of the best women golfers in the world to Grand Rapids, Mich. for four days of competition at Blythefield Country Club. It’s an opportunity for the entire community to get involved and have fun while supporting a very important cause – feeding those facing food insecurity in our communities. Our previous 11 tournaments generated more than $13 million for our Simply Give food pantry partners across the Midwest.
