Meijer has completed its fifth annual Meijer Team Gives campaign, with employees choosing more than 500 local organizations across the Midwest to support.
Since the inception of Meijer Team Gives in 2021, each Meijer store, distribution facility and supply chain location has had the opportunity each year to donate $10,000 to a nonprofit or $5,000 each to two organizations.
Employees identify and support nonprofits making an impact in their communities. To date, nearly $15 million has been awarded.
“Meijer Team Gives is one of our team’s favorite programs because it lets us play a lead role in supporting nonprofits that are doing amazing work in our communities,” said Brian Dunigan, director of the store in Youngstown, Ohio.
“Inspiring generosity and building stronger communities is at the core of our values, and Meijer Team Gives invites every team member to play an active role in identifying and supporting the organizations that matter most to them.”
Recipients have ranged from community food banks and youth resource centers to animal rescue programs and healthcare programs.
“Our organization is deeply honored to have been selected as a recipient of a generous donation from Meijer as we rely solely on the support of donations to continue our mission of rescuing and caring for dogs in need,” said Cheri Wallace, co-director of Every Dog Matters Rescue located in northeastern Ohio.
“This gift from Meijer not only helps us continue our work but also reminds us of the invaluable role our community partners play in making rescue possible. We extend our heartfelt gratitude to our community for their continued generosity and support.”
