Caritas Food Pantry Supports Families in Need Through the
Meijer Simply Give Hunger Relief Program
Custer, Campaign set to run through Sept. 28
Custer, Michigan – Caritas Food Pantry is proud to announce a partnership with Meijer to provide much-needed relief to local families facing food insecurity through the retailer’s customer-driven hunger relief program, Simply Give.
Each Meijer Simply Give campaign feeds hungry families by replenishing the shelves of more than 270 food pantries in Michigan, Illinois, Indiana, Ohio, Kentucky and Wisconsin. The program encourages customers to add a $10 Simply Give donation card to their cart, which is then converted into a Meijer food-only gift card and given to a local food pantry in the store’s community.
Caritas will benefit from donation cards at the Ludington Meijer store now through Sept. 28. In addition, Meijer will double match all customer cards on Saturday, August 17 and September 14, effectively tripling contributions made on both days. Meijer customers shopping online using Meijer Pickup or Home Delivery can also include Simply Give donation cards as an add-on to their orders.
“Continued hardships have taught us all the importance of community members supporting each other,” said Kelly Glover, Director at Caritas Food Pantry. “We encourage our community to give and help us feed their neighbors in need in Mason, Lake, Oceana and Manistee counties by adding a Meijer Simply Give food donation card to their cart during their next shopping trip.”
Since 2008, more than $91million has been distributed to food pantries across the Midwest to feed neighbors in need. “What’s special about the Meijer Simply Give program is each contribution stays local and directly impacts neighborhood food pantries to help feed families in need,” said Melissa Conway, Director of Community Partnerships & Giving at Meijer. “Food insecurity remains a national issue and at Meijer, we’re grateful for our customers and team members who continue to support this program, now in its 16th year.”
