Simply Give

by | Oct 26, 2016 | News & Notes

Meijer Simply Give CardFrom October 30 to December 31, customers of the Jenison Meijer are encouraged to purchase a $10 Simply Give donation card upon checkout. Once purchased, the donation is converted into a Meijer Food-Only Gift Card and donated directly to the the Love INC food pantry.

Want to participate? Take your “Simply Give” card to a cashier at the Jenison Meijer to make a $10 donation per scan and Meijer will match the funds donated.

Plus, November 11-12 (Friday & Saturday) are “DOUBLE MATCH DAYS”. For every $10 donation, Meijer will donate $20. This triples your donation to support the Food Pantry at Love INC in Hudsonville.

Additional cards are available at the Love INC Office, Love’s Treasures, The Outback, Edward Jones, Gemmen’s Hardware and the Jenison Meijer.

Thanks for your partnership with us!

It’s quite incredible that all of this happens almost every day, and every week, by diligent volunteers who embody our diligence core value.

Not only is there a large variety of “things to do,” but also a deep investment by those who say yes to volunteering. Most volunteers serve weekly, some even daily, spending hundreds of hours donating the gift many of us hold most tightly – the gift of time.

In 2023 alone, 420 volunteers invested 49,120 hours – a value of $1.5 million! 

Our core mission is to love, serve and connect with dignity as we follow Jesus Christ closely, watching how he transforms lives – and we often highlight the transformation happening through our Life Skills Program.

What we often forget to highlight is that God is also transforming lives through volunteerism, giving community members purpose, friendship, creativity, and belonging. Here at Love, we believe everyone has something to offer.

If you are a volunteer, at Love Your Neighbor or elsewhere, thank you for this priceless gift!
