Meijer's Commitment to Community Through Team Gives

In the heart of America’s Midwest, Meijer has achieved a remarkable milestone with its fifth annual Meijer Team Gives campaign, successfully raising $3 million to support local non-profit organizations. This initiative is a testament to the retail giant's commitment to strengthening community ties and empowering neighborhoods across the region.

Launched in 2021, Meijer Team Gives has allowed every store, distribution center, and supply chain location to contribute $10,000 annually to a community non-profit. Team members are encouraged to work collaboratively in identifying and supporting local organizations that are making significant impacts where they live and work. Since its inception, this campaign has seen nearly $15 million in donations to local non-profits, with the unique aspect of team members selecting where these funds go.

Brian Dunigan, a store director from Meijer in Youngstown, Ohio, expressed, “Meijer Team Gives is one of our team's favorite programs because it allows us to play a lead role in supporting non-profits doing incredible work in our communities. Inspiring generosity and building stronger communities are core values of ours.” This attitude showcases how deeply the Meijer employees are engaged in fostering community spirit.

Over the years, the donations have supported a broad spectrum of organizations, ranging from community food banks and youth resource centers to animal rescue programs and healthcare initiatives. For the year 2025, the campaign continues this legacy, allowing team members to select one local non-profit to receive a $10,000 donation or two organizations to share $5,000 each.

Cheri Wallace, co-director of Every Dog Matters Rescue in Northeast Ohio, shared her sentiments about being a recipient of the generous donation: “Our organization is deeply honored to have been selected for a generous donation from Meijer, as we rely solely on donation support to continue our mission of rescuing and caring for dogs in need.” This statement is a prime example of how such contributions have a tangible impact on local services and organizations.

Meijer’s dedication to creating meaningful change and investing in areas where they operate has proven fruitful. The ongoing success of Meijer Team Gives is a reflection of the enthusiasm and compassion exhibited by over 70,000 employees who continuously strive to make a lasting positive difference in the Midwest.
