The program encourages customers to add a $10 Simply Give donation card to their cart, which is then converted into a Meijer food-only gift card and given to a local food pantry in the store’s community.

 

Titan Fuel will benefit from donation cards at the Springfield Meijer store now through Sept. 28. In addition, Meijer will double match all customer cards on August 17 and September 14, effectively tripling contributions made on both days.
