MEIJER DOUBLE MATCH DAY IS THIS SATURDAY, AUGUST, 14, 2021
Mt. Healthy Alliance Food Pantry and Meijer Partner to Provide Hunger Relief to the 45231 Community Through Retailer’s Simply Give Food Pantry Donation Program
People in our community continue to struggle every day to pay their bills and put food on their tables. Some are even forced to choose between the two, a heartbreaking decision that no one should have to make. I’m pleased to announce that the Mt. Healthy Alliance Food Pantry has joined forces with the Meijer Simply Give hunger relief program again this Fall to help fill that void for our local families in these uncertain times. Our pantry continues to operate during our regularly scheduled hours with protective protocols in place keeping clients, and volunteers safe.
Each Simply Give campaign helps more than 240 food pantries in Michigan, Illinois, Indiana, Ohio, Kentucky and Wisconsin keep their shelves stocked with food for those in need. But it also fosters a sense of community by encouraging customers to purchase $10 Simply Give donation cards, which are then converted into Meijer food-only gift cards and given to the local food pantry selected by the store.
The Mt. Healthy Alliance Food Pantry will benefit from donation cards purchased at the Stone Creek Meijer location at 3711 Stone Creek Boulevard in Colerain July 4th through October 2nd, 2021. THERE WILL BE 2 DOUBLE MATCH DAYS ON Saturday, August 14th & Saturday, August 28th, WHERE ALL DONATIONS MADE THAT DAY WILL BE DOUBLE MATCHED BY MEIJER! THAT'S THIS SATURDAY!
I want to encourage you to help us fulfill our mission of helping feed the hungry in the 45231 community by purchasing a food donation card during your next shopping trip. Tell your friends, relatives, neighbors and co-workers because every dollar makes a difference.
And when we give, Meijer gives. For the eighth consecutive year, Meijer will contribute at least $1 million to the 2021 Simply Give program.
We are very encouraged about this opportunity to serve the hungry in the 45231 community.
You can donate by mailing a check to our address at the bottom of this newsletter, or through our website: MHA Donations
Every little bit counts, and if the donation is received before August 28th it will be doubled by Meijer. We appreciate all donations, and couldn't offer the services we provide with out your help.

Mt. Healthy Veterans Project
The City of Mt. Healthy celebrated its 200th anniversary in 2017.
As part of the Bicentennial Celebration, the Bicentennial Committee published a book featuring a comprehensive listing of all Mt. Healthy Veterans, living or deceased, going back as far as possible. This book is a commemoration of Mt. Healthians who have served in the armed forces. Every effort was made to include information for all veterans we could find.
You can purchase the book here and pick it up at Mt. Healthy city hall. If you need to have a copy shipped to you, you can order it through Amazon and have it shipped directly from them. It is also available for Kindle. You can order it here.
With this book you can learn where your military friends are and reconnect, or simply remember and honor the service of those now gone.
