Meijer Partners with Nourishing Gardens to Fight Hunger

Nourishing Gardens and Meijer partnered together to fight hunger in Southeastern Michigan. Meijers' Simply Give program provides food gift cards that will be used to stock Nourishing Gardens shelves. Working together, we will be able to continue to reach deep into the community and lend a helping hand to an individual or a family that desperately needs our assistance with food support.

Thanks to the Meijer partnership we were able to raise $4090.00 that will be used to help us to support families in need. The success of this program is a testament to the generosity of those who reached deep into their pockets despite the difficult times we all face, in order to help a less fortunate neighbor.

We applaud Meijer for their partnership with our organization, their donation to Nourishing Gardens has helped to ease the burden that we have to keep our shelves stocked in order to help families in need.
