On Thursday, February 25, 2021, Meijer, a family-owned, regional retailer donated 6,000 turkeys to Feeding America Eastern Wisconsin and hosted a contact-free drive-through distribution to community members and food pantry partners at Greater New Birth Church, 8237 West Silver Spring Drive. The event is one of several that will distribute more than $1 million (50,000 turkeys) of food relief for local food banks across the Midwest.

The current pandemic has stretched the resources of both families and agencies here in Milwaukee, especially with such a long hard winter. So a donation like this from Meijer was extremely vital to our community. The event was a partnership between Meijer, Greater New Birth Church, Feeding America; and the Milwaukee Brewers. Volunteers included Feeding America Eastern Wisconsin President and CEO Patti Habeck; Greater New Birth Church Pastor Jesse Griffin; Meijer Milwaukee Marketing Director Art Belt; Brewers Community Foundation Executive Director Cecelia Core; and Bernie the Brewer.
