A record year in 2017 for the Meijer Simply Give program - it donated more than 84 million meals to food pantries, helping families struggling with hunger all across the Midwest.

Meijer has announced the beginning of the hiring process at its news U.P. store. The retailer, based in Grand Rapids, operates 235 supercenters and grocery stores throughout Michigan, Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Kentucky and Wisconsin.

For people looking to eat healthier in the new year, protein powder in your meals may be the way to go. Tracy from Meijer is here with some recipes that will incorporate plant protein powders.

Beginning January 22, The Downtown Detroit Partnership (DDP) in collaboration with Meijer will offer shoppers free ice skating admission passes to The Rink at Campus Martius Park. In total, 500 passes will be distributed per week at six store locations in Detroit and surrounding suburbs.

Meijer held its fourth annual Very Merry Meijer event across all 235 Meijer stores in the Midwest on Dec. 16. The event consists of each store picking an unsuspecting customer and surprising them when they reach the cashier by paying for their entire shopping cart. Diana Wood of Elburn was the lucky winner at the St. Charles Meijer that December day. Wood just so happened to be shopping for toys and other items to donate to the Lazarus House in St. Charles, which she has been doing for the past several years.
