SpartanNash Foundation, Store Guests Raise $330,000 for Veteran Service Organizations

As part of its commitment to building stronger communities and serving those who served, the SpartanNash Foundation – the charitable organization operated by grocery retailer and distributor SpartanNash – recently joined with store guests and company associates to raise $330,000 on behalf of nonprofit organizations Team Red, White & Blue (Team RWB), Operation Homefront and Honor and Remember.

“As a leading distributor of grocery products to US military commissaries and exchanges throughout the world, SpartanNash sees firsthand the sacrifices our servicemen and women make every day to protect our freedoms. We are proud to join our patriotic partners to support these heroes in the communities we serve,” said SpartanNash Senior Vice President and President of MDV (Military Division) David Sisk.

Between June 30 and July 13, store guests who visited any participating SpartanNash-owned retail store or fuel center had the opportunity to donate $1, $5 or $10 at any checkout lane, or round up their total to the nearest dollar to support Team RWB, Operation Homefront and Honor and Remember. More than 145 stores participated in the Foundation scan, primarily under the banners of Family Fare, D&W Fresh Market, VG’s Grocery and Dan’s Supermarket.

“In addition to this fundraiser, SpartanNash provides financial support, product donations and volunteer hours to military and veteran organizations throughout the year. SpartanNash has also earned recognition for being a Military Friendly and veteran-friendly employer,” Sisk said.

Since 2016, the SpartanNash Foundation has raised and granted more than $1.7 million for its patriotic partners through fundraising campaigns, benefitting veterans service organizations including Give an Hour, Fisher House Foundation, Blue Star Mothers of America, Inc. and Disabled Veterans National Foundation.
