TERRE HAUTE, Ind. (WTHI) – A Meijer program that benefits local food pantries made a major donation to a Terre Haute food pantry. It’s called the “Simply Give” program, and it’s available at the Terre Haute store. In fact, store director Mark Campbell made a huge donation today to the food pantry at the New Life Fellowship Church.
It’s pretty easy to help a local food pantry by using “Simply Give.” You’ll find three displays in the aisle closest to the checkout area, and they’re also located throughout the store. You can take a card, which looks just like a gift card, from the display. You take it to the register and pay the amount on the card, whether it be $10 or $20. That donation goes straight to the food pantry Meijer is helping that week. In addition, Meijer will match your donation dollar-for-dollar.
If you happen to come on double-match days, Meijer will match your donation two-for-one. For example, if you made a $10 donation on double-match day, Meijer would chip in an additional $20, making the total donation $30! Campbell says that’s how members of New Life Fellowship Church were able to raise so much money for their food pantry.
