Meijer is participating in the U.S. Department of Health & Human Services' free mask program that will provide complimentary N95 masks to customers who need them upon entrance to its stores across the Midwest.
Meijer has received an estimated 3 million masks, which have been made available for no charge to any customer who needs them.
This is the latest effort by Meijer, and its pharmacies, to continue to help its communities during the ongoing challenges from the pandemic. Meijer continues to administer COVID-19 vaccines, including boosters, to eligible individuals. To date, the retailer has administered more than 2.8 million doses.
