NORTHEAST WISCONSIN – Meijer recently announced it conducted a special version of its annual Meijer Team Gives program, empowering its team members to make $1.5 million in surprise donations to nearly 300 nonprofits within their communities.
Meijer Team Gives started in 2021 and annually allows Meijer store and distribution facility team members to select and donate to nonprofits meaningful to them and their local communities.
The program has supported hundreds of nonprofits with more than $7 million in donations to date.
Meijer plans to run the program again this fall.
“Meijer Team Gives is one way we live our purpose and focus on being a retailer and a member of the community that cares,” Meijer President/CEO Rick Keyes said. “Our team members’ passion and support for these community organizations is wonderful to see because it reflects who they are as people and who we are as a company.”
During this latest version of the Meijer Team Gives program, each store and distribution facility was given $5,000 to donate to one nonprofit in their community.
