GRAND RAPIDS, Mich., Oct. 24, 2024 ~ Meijer, a popular Midwest retail chain, has announced the success of its fourth Meijer Team Gives program. This program has resulted in surprise donations to nearly 500 nonprofits within the communities it serves.
According to Rick Keyes, President and CEO of Meijer, the Meijer Team Gives program holds a special place in the company's heart as it allows team members across the Midwest to support local nonprofits that are making a meaningful impact in their communities. By empowering employees to choose the organizations that mean the most to them, Meijer is not only supporting hundreds of local organizations but also honoring the values and passions of its team members.
