March 26 (Day 26) Help Stock the Shelves of Food Pantrys

Living in Michigan, where unemployment is the highest in the nation at 14%, times are tough right now for so many people. Many food pantrys are experiencing demands that are overwhelming them. Food pantry needs are rising, up 40% from last year.  Hunger is a problem in America, but you can do something to help.

Meijer Stores are helping to stock the shelves of area food pantrys.  Your donation will help replenish food pantry staples like tomato sauce, pancake mix, peanut butter, applesauce, syrup, green beans, jelly, quick oats, and more. Your nontaxable $10 donation will be converted into a Meijer Gift Card and given to food pantries in communities Meijer serves. In addition, Meijer will donate a total of $100,000 to participating food pantries to help restock their shelves.

If there is a Meijer Store in your area you can purchase the gift card in the store or online.  If you do not live near a Meijer, you can purchase the card online and purchase the gift card by clicking here.  Please consider helping in this area.  It is a very easy and low cost way to make a difference.
