Meijer recently partnered with Johnsonville to make a wish come true. In Comstock Township, the Fire & Rescue’s fire chief was recently killed in the line of duty while assisting with a car accident. The couple’s wish was for a bratsgiving BBQ celebration in honor of the Fire & Rescue team. This past week, Meijer and Johnsonville honored this local cause by putting together a #bratsgiving party.
Now it’s your turn! Put together your own #bratsgiving celebration for your family and friends. You can use our Rigatoni + Grilled Bratwurst recipe, or come up with your own bratsgiving idea.
