Meijer Team Gives Program Brings Team Members and Local Nonprofits Together for a Day of Impact Across the Midwest

Since launching in 2021, Meijer Team Gives has empowered its more than 70,000 team members to give to nonprofits making a difference in the Midwest communities they call home. Each year, team members at every Meijer store, distribution facility, and supply chain location come together to select a local nonprofit to receive a $10,000 donation (or two nonprofits to receive $5,000 each), turning their passion for helping their community into true local impact.

"Meijer Team Gives continues to create meaningful impact in communities across the Midwest because of our team members," said Rick Keyes, Meijer President and CEO. "They know their communities, understand where support is needed most, and care deeply about the causes they select. Bringing our team members and nonprofit partners together to celebrate these donations on a single day makes every gift even more personal and impactful."

That team-member-led approach has turned local insight into nearly $20 million in support for numerous nonprofits across the Midwest over the last six years. The organizations selected reflect the needs and priorities of each community, from food banks helping families access nutritious meals to youth resource centers creating opportunities for youth to animal rescue programs caring for animals in need. Together, these donations help local nonprofits expand essential services, reach more people, and create lasting impact in the communities Meijer team members call home.

Meijer Team Gives is about trusting the people who know their communities best. By allowing the retailer's team members to choose local organizations close to them, the campaign helps ensure support reaches Midwest communities where it is needed most.
