Meijer re-launches 'Simply Give' donation program

GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. Meijer announce that it is re-launching its "Simply Give" food donation program to help restock the shelves of 185 local food pantries throughout the Midwest. The announcement was made today by Hank Meijer, co-chairman and CEO of the Grand Rapids, Michigan-based retailer.

"The need to re-stock and replenish our local food banks and food pantries is greater than ever, so we are encouraging our customers to join us again in reaching out to lend a helping hand to those in need," said Meijer. "We're committed to making a difference in all the communities where we do business, and this is just another example of the importance we place on being an active member of the community."

The food donation program, which will run from April 5 to May 30, encourages Meijer shoppers to purchase a $10 Meijer Food Pantry Donation Card at special displays throughout the store, as well as inside Meijer gas stations and convenience stops.
