OREGON, OH—Mark your calendars for a DOUBLE MATCH DAY on Saturday, Sept. 13, at the Oregon Meijer, located at 1725 S. Wheeling Street, Oregon. On DOUBLE Match Days, for every $10 Simply Give card shoppers purchase on this day, Meijer will provide a $20 match, bringing the total contribution for a single $10 customer purchase to $30. Purchases up to $5,000 will be matched by Meijer up to a maximum donation of $10,000 per pantry/campaign.
“Please help us fulfill Meijer's Simply Give mission of helping feed the hungry people who come to us for a meal by purchasing a food donation card during your next shopping trip to the Oregon Mejier,” says Susan Shrewsbery, Director of Helping Hands of St. Louis, noting the Oregon Meijer's Simply Give! Campaign runs through Sat., Sept. 27, 2025. “Tell your family members, friends, neighbors and co-workers, because every dollar makes a difference!”
Every $10 Simply Give! donation card you purchase is converted into Meijer food-only gift cards the Helping Hands Food Pantry and hot-meal programs can use to purchase needed items! Meijer customers shopping online using Meijer pickup or home delivery can also purchase Simply Give donation cards as an add-on to their orders.
A HUGE thank you to Meijer and all locally who support this program! Meijer began offering Double Match Days in 2012 to highlight our commitment to feeding hungry families in the communities we serve. As a result, the Simply Give program continues to set year-over-year records, generating more than $100 million in donations to feed families across our six-state service area throughout the Midwest since its inception in November 2008.
“The Simply Give program is a way for Meijer customers to partner with us and support the food banks and pantries that feed families in need in their own communities,” said Cathy Cooper, Senior Director of Community Partnerships and Giving for Meijer. “We certainly couldn’t do it without the support and commitment of our generous customers and team members, who stand beside us in this effort.”
Every penny goes towards food purchases for our Helping Hands of St. Louis Pantry and hot-meal programs, where hundreds of men, women and children are served on any given day with food, groceries, hygiene products, clothing and household items.
