ADRIAN — According to a news release from the Meijer store, an employee of Adrian Meijer recently delivered a check for $10,000 to the Lenawee Community Mental Health Authority.
This is the second year that Meijer has given members of its hourly team the opportunity to decide which nonprofits will receive gifts. Store Director Ben Negron explained the process used to make the designations over the past two years.
“Our team members participated in a multi-week voting process to narrow down eight local organizations, including The Daily Bread, Humane Society and Share the Warmth, to one. Donating funds to community organizations without receiving, those team members made their voices heard today.Warmth and The Daily Bread will each receive $5,000.”
Linda Whipple, who works in Adrian Meijer’s fashion department, told a board member of the Lenawee Community Mental Health Authority on November 30 how important mental health and suicide prevention initiatives and programs are to the community and the 279 team members.

In 2022, the Meijer Team Gives program will donate $3 million to over 500 nonprofit organizations selected by Meijer Team members. First in 2021, his Meijer Team Gives program allowed store and distribution facility employees to select a meaningful nonprofit for a $2.8 million donation. His two-year giving total for Meijer Team Gives totals nearly $6 million.
“Meijer cares about the communities we serve. Our team members are the face of that commitment in store every day. We are humbled to see the passion and support of our team members, which is at the core of who we are as a team member company,” said Negron.
