GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. — Meijer Inc. is expanding its commitment to fighting hunger in the Midwest. The Grand Rapids-based retailer announced Monday it will double-match customers' $10 Simply Give donations made Sept. 2-8 in support of Hunger Action Month.

The plan is part of a $1 million donation to the retailer's 2012 Simply Give program, which aims to replenish the shelves of nearly 200 food pantries in Michigan, Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, and Kentucky.
