Meijer provides 4 million meals this Thanksgiving

For the third consecutive year, Meijer and its customers helped feed Midwest communities through its Simply Give hunger relief program during the week of Thanksgiving.

"The holiday season is not only a time to gather with family and friends, but also to extend a hand to our neighbors in need," said Melissa Conway, director of community partnerships and giving at Meijer. "When each of us includes a Meijer brand item in our Thanksgiving meal, we're nourishing hope for communities across the Midwest."

Since 2008, the Simply Give program has been feeding hungry families in the communities Meijer serves, by stocking the shelves of hundreds of pantries each year. In 2024 alone, more than 450 food pantries participated in the Simply Give program. To date, the program has donated more than $90 million to pantries across the Midwest.

"At Meijer, we're committed to supporting our food pantry partners through the Simply Give program year-round, but especially this time of year, when communities are looking to do even more for those in need," said Ben Hamlin, director of Own Brand Foods at Meijer.
