GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. – As Midwest communities encounter unique hunger challenges, Meijer pledges to donate $4 million to food banks and pantries across its six-state footprint through the Simply Give hunger relief program.
One aspect of this effort involves donations to eight food banks that can make a significant impact on many Midwest neighbors in need. These food bank partners include Dare to Care Food Bank (Louisville, KY), Feeding America East Wisconsin, Feeding America West Michigan, Gleaners Community Food Bank of Southeastern Michigan, Gleaners Community Food Bank of Indiana, Greater Chicago Food Depository, Greater Cleveland Food Bank, and the Mid-Ohio Food Collective.
“We understand the communities we serve are facing unique challenges right now, and while we cannot solve them alone, that will not stop us from expanding our Simply Give hunger relief efforts to help our neighbors in need,” said Hank Meijer, executive chairman. “We are humbled to be able to make these donations and know they will have a significant impact in the fight against hunger throughout the Midwest.”…
