Simply Give DOUBLE MATCH Sat. June 20th
2026-06-20 | Davison Meijer Store, 8089 Lapeer Rd, Davison, MI, 48423, United States
This Spring / Summer, Outreach East is proud to partner with the Meijer store in Davison, MI (8089 Lapeer Rd) for a 13-week Simply Give campaign running from Sunday, March 29, 2026, through Saturday, June 27, 2025.

Double Match Days:

On Saturday, June 20, 2026, 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).

or online by clicking the link below Simply Give $10 Food Pantry Donation | Meijer

Why Simply Give Matters: Instead of deciding what food to donate, the Simply Give program allows local food pantries the flexibility to choose the grocery items that best meet the needs of the families they serve. This includes essential items like baby food, formula, diapers, and wipes.
By participating in the Simply Give campaign, you are helping to ensure that donations remain within our community, directly supporting families in need.
The Simply Give campaign ends on June 28th, so this is the last chance to triple your giving value.

How You Can Help

In-Store Donations:

Purchase a $10 Simply Give donation card at checkout.

Online Donations:

Add a $10 Simply Give donation card to your Meijer pickup or home delivery orders at www.meijer.com.

2026-11-11 | MI
“A Legacy of Loyalty and Service.”
The theme for Veterans Day 2026 is “A Legacy of Loyalty and Service.” Veterans are proud of their military service in defending our Nation. Honor reflects the military value and tradition of answering the call to duty. There is distinct honor in serving to protect our way of life and the Constitution of the United States of America.
National Veterans Day Ceremony

The Veterans Day National Ceremony is held each year on November 11th at Arlington National Cemetery. The ceremony commences precisely at 11:00 a.m. with a wreath laying at the Tomb of the Unknowns and continues inside the Memorial Amphitheater with a parade of colors by Veterans’ organizations and remarks from dignitaries. The ceremony is intended to honor and thank all who served in the United States Armed Forces.

Giving Tuesday: Fueling Hope, Dec 1, 2026
2026-12-01 | Outreach East, 425 N Genesee St, Davison, MI, 48423, United States
What is Giving Tuesday?
Giving Tuesday 2025 is on Tuesday, December 1st, and is a Global Day of Generosity that encourages people to give back to their communities. It follows the major shopping days of Black Friday and Cyber Monday and serves as an opportunity to donate time, talent, or treasure to support charitable causes.
How can I participate ?

Simply click on the DONATE NOW button and it will take you to our donation page. Choose one time or monthly and the amount. It’s that easy!

Date: The Tuesday after Thanksgiving in the United States, which will be December 1, 2026.
Purpose: To inspire acts of generosity and community support after a weekend of shopping.
How to participate: People can give back through monetary donations, volunteering their time, sharing their skills, or other acts of kindness.
Global movement: It is a global event that brings people together to support a wide range of causes, from local charities to large non-profits

For over 35 years, Outreach East has served as a critical lifeline—a constant, non-denominational emergency resource center dedicated to assisting neighbors in need across Goodrich, Davison, Otisville, and the expanding 225 square miles of eastern Genesee County. We are built on the belief that no one in our community should face hunger or housing instability alone.
Yet, the need in our area remains staggering. Even as the economy shifts, too many families are one unexpected bill away from crisis. Consider this: in a recent year, over 70,000 people in Genesee County lived in poverty, and the food insecurity rate has been estimated at over 15%. This is not an abstract problem; it’s our children and our seniors. Right here in the Davison school district, nearly half (49%) of students qualify for free or reduced-price lunches. These are the families who turn to us when their cupboards are bare and hope is running thin.
We’re hosting our campaign right here on Give Butter (a secure platform). Every dollar you donate on this critical day will be matched by a 1% match from the platform, multiplying the hope you can provide. For more info

Click the “DONATE” button and transform a neighbor’s life.

Giving Tuesday: Fueling Hope, Dec 1, 2026. Your Compassion. Our Community’s Strength.
