Ball-Chatham Community Unit School District 5 issued the following announcement on March 31.

Titan Fuel is proud to again partner with Meijer this spring to provide much needed hunger relief to Ball-Chatham’s struggling students through Meijer’s food donation program, Simply Give. Last year, the program raised over $14,000 for Titan Fuel’s families.

The program encourages customers to purchase $10 Simply Give donation cards from May 12 to June 17, which will then be converted into Meijer food-only gift cards that Titan Fuel will use to purchase items for use throughout the school year.

“We encourage community members to help us fulfill our mission of helping feed our struggling students by purchasing a Meijer Simply Give food donation card during their next shopping trip,” says Meredith Ferguson, president of the non-profit support organization, Titan Fuel. “We will, in turn, purchase non-perishable, kid-friendly food items from Meijer with the monies raised through the donation cards."

Also, on May 31 and June 14, Meijer will double the donation amount to Titan Fuel from donation cards purchased.

The Simply Give program runs three times a year: Spring, Fall and Winter. Since the program began in November 2008, more than $48 million has been generated for food assistance programs and pantries in the Midwest to distribute to our hungry neighbors.
