Timeline & Review

📅 Application Timeline: Rolling / ongoing

Applicants receive a confirmation number by email after submitting a request and may log back into the system to check the status. If more than 60 days have passed, applicants may contact the Meijer store where the request was submitted.

Application / Request Process

Donation requests may be submitted online. First-time applicants will need to create an account.
