GRAND RAPIDS, MI -- Meijer has announced it will donate 35 reconditioned semi-tractors to local food banks, academic organizations and law enforcement throughout the Midwest. The announcement was made by Rick Keyes, executive vice president of supply chain operations and manufacturing for the Grand Rapids based retailer.
The 35 tractors had previously been in use in the Meijer truck fleet and were recently replaced when Meijer purchased new, near-zero emission tractors. All of the trucks have been reconditioned and prepped for their next use, including a multi-point safety inspection and new graphics specific to each local food bank.
In total, 14 food banks and food rescue organizations will receive the donations, with each receiving two trucks. These organizations support communities in Michigan, Ohio, Indiana, Illinois and Kentucky.
