Help Fight Hunger with Outreach East and Meijer Simply Give!

Make a difference in our community! Outreach East is proud to partner with Meijer for their Simply Give campaign to help fight hunger in Davison and the surrounding areas.

What is Simply Give?

Meijer’s Simply Give program is a wonderful initiative that allows customers to purchase $10 Simply Give donation cards at checkout. These donations are then converted into Meijer food-only gift cards, which Outreach East uses to purchase the groceries needed to stock our shelves and support local families facing food insecurity.

How You Can Help:

From Sunday, March 30th, 2025, through Saturday, June 28th, 2025, you can participate in the Simply Give campaign at our partnering Meijer store located at:

Meijer Store #244 – Davison 8089 Lapeer Road Davison, MI 48423-2529

When you’re at the checkout, simply ask your cashier to add a $10 Simply Give card to your purchase. Every card purchased helps us provide essential food items to our neighbors in need.

Mark Your Calendars for Double Match Day!

Double Match Days:

• On  Saturday, June 14, 2025, Meijer will triple your impact. For every $10 Simply Give card purchased, Meijer will contribute an additional $20, resulting in a total donation of $30.    That means $20= $60 ,  $50 = $150, and $100 = $300!!! What better what to triple you’re in impact on hunger.
• This is the best day to make a significant contribution. You can contribute in store at Meijer (8089 Lapeer Rd, Davison, Mi 48423).

Bring Your Pantry’s Simply Give Cards!

Outreach East will also be receiving a set of Simply Give cards directly from Meijer. To ensure our food pantry receives credit, we encourage our supporters to bring these cards to the Davison Meijer store and use them to contribute to the campaign.

Your Support Makes a Difference:

Food insecurity continues to be a significant challenge in our community, and the Simply Give program is a vital resource for us. Your generous contributions will directly help us purchase the food necessary to support individuals and families right here in Davison.

Let’s work together to make a positive impact! Visit the Davison Meijer between March 30th and June 28th and participate in the Simply Give campaign to support Outreach East.

Thank you for your generosity!

The Annual Letter Carriers’ Association – Stamp Out Hunger^® Food Drive 

Saturday, May 10, 2025

Year after year, our incredible community and the amazing Postal Workers of Davison have joined forces to make a HUGE difference! Thanks to your incredible generosity and the tireless efforts of everyone involved, including dedicated volunteers, we’ve collected over 10,000 pounds of vital donations annually for Outreach East. This outpouring of support directly translates to nutritious food for our neighbors in need, making a real and positive impact in our community. Thank you, Davison!

How does it work? 

To donate, just place a bag, box or can of non-perishable food next to your mailbox before your letter carrier delivers mail on the second Saturday in May. The carrier will do the rest. The food is sorted and delivered to an area food bank or pantry (Outreach East), where it is available for needy families.

Are food drive donations tax-deductible?

All donations to the Letter Carriers’ Stamp Out Hunger^® Food Drive are tax-deductible, depending on how you, file because all the food collected on Food Drive Day is given directly to non-profit charity food agencies in the community the food was collected. Though the National Association of Letter Carriers plans the Food Drive’s logistics and letter carriers provide the transportation for each donor’s generous donation, the National Association of Letter carriers is not the agency that gets listed on tax forms for claiming deductions. There are more than 10,000 food agencies throughout the country that receive these donations. The Davison Post office will be giving your donations to us here at Outreach East so you would list us as the charity 501C3. 

National Stamp Out Hunger Food Drive Day is observed on the second Saturday of May and takes place on May 10th. It is the largest food drive in the country and takes place in more than 10,000 cities and towns. One in eight Americans face hunger every day and we want to remind everyone that they can help with this wonderful initiative. The Stamp Out Hunger Donor Drive aims to feed the hungry in the U.S., and as always, with your help, we can, and we will.
