The Cleveland Browns and Meijer share an unwavering commitment to supporting and showcasing their collective gratitude for the sacrifices made by the members of the United States Military.
Throughout the 2025 season, they will bring this commitment to life by donating to Volunteers of America Ohio and Indiana: Veteran Resource Center through the Field Goals for Good Presented by Meijer program for every successful field goal and extra point attempt made by the Browns.
"We are thrilled to launch this partnership with the Cleveland Browns, a team that inspires so much pride here in Ohio," Director of Community Partnerships and Giving at Meijer Melissa Conway said. "Through this program, every successful field goal and extra point becomes more than just points on the scoreboard—they become tangible support for our community's veterans. By donating $500 for every field goal and $250 for every extra point throughout the season, Meijer is honored to help strengthen the efforts of the Veteran's Resource Center in Cleveland."
The Volunteers of America Ohio & Indiana: Veteran Resource Center aims to offer programs to help veterans address challenges with unemployment, substance use disorder and homelessness in order to help rebuild their lives.
"Volunteers of America Ohio & Indiana is extremely grateful for the opportunity to partner with the Cleveland Browns and Meijer," Vice President, Veterans & Housing, for Volunteers of America Ohio & Indiana LaRaun Clayton, MBA, LSW said. "Together, we offer hope, restore dignity, and transform the lives of veterans right here in northeast Ohio. Thanks to the Cleveland Browns and Meijer, each kick becomes a warm meal. And that meal is a symbol of hope, reminding veterans they are not alone. But it's more than just a meal. It's a safe space to receive caring support and heal – setting the table for their success. Together, we can make a difference in the lives of veterans."
Throughout the year, the Browns work with local military branches and organizations to extend their gratitude for their service, from exclusive opportunities to view practice and assembling care packages, to the Honor Row game day recognition. The organization takes great pride in working with the Greater Cleveland Food Bank for decades to raise funds and create awareness for the hunger relief services they provide in six counties. Through their commitment to both, the Browns are able to extend their loyalty to support fans and community, which is also a reflection of their commitment to the Browns.
"We are proud to work with Meijer on this campaign to help ensure people won't need to choose between food and other basic needs, especially those whose courage, and sacrifice has served our country," Vice President of Community Relations Jenner Tekancic said. "By uniting our resources, with the excitement of the game, we can create a platform of appreciation to support our veterans, feed families and strengthen communities."
