The Meijer Simply Give hunger relief program runs year-round and helps local food pantries provide meals to families in need across the Midwest. Partnering food pantries are rotated throughout the year to ensure broader outreach and instead of Meijer deciding what to donate to its 500+ pantry partners, the program allows each pantry to choose the grocery and baby essential items best suited for the families they serve. Together with customers, team members, and pantry partners, Simply Give has generated more than $100 million to fight hunger and strengthen communities since 2008, equating to more than 900 million meals*.

*One meal equates to 25 cents. Meal calculation is based on the approximate average cost of a meal from select food pantry partners across the Meijer footprint.
