Meijer Launches Simply Give Campaign in New Wisconsin Supercenters

Midwest retailer Meijer will kick off its signature hunger relief program, Simply Give, today in Wisconsin in an effort to help its partnering food pantries – Family Sharing of Ozaukee County Food Pantry and Interfaith Shalom Center Food Pantry – restock their shelves.

The fall Simply Give campaign will run through Sept. 12. Simply Give donation cards can now be purchased at the new Grafton and Kenosha Meijer stores; Oak Creek and Wauwatosa Meijer stores will participate upon their grand opening on Aug. 4.

During each Simply Give campaign, customers are encouraged to purchase a $10 Simply Give donation card upon checkout. The donation will then be converted into Meijer food-only gift cards and given to the local food pantry selected by the store after the campaign concludes. Meijer will also contribute more than $1 million to the 2015 Simply Give program.

To celebrate National Hunger Action Day, Meijer will double match customers’ donations on Sept. 3-5. That means for every $10 donation card purchase, Meijer will contribute $20, resulting in a total $30 donation.
