Grand Rapids, Michigan-based SpartanNash is holding its annual foundation in-store fundraiser through June 4, benefiting Honor and Remember, Operation Homefront and Convoy of Hope.
Customers who visit any participating SpartanNash-owned retail stores including Family Fare, Martin’s Super Markets, D&W Fresh Market, Forest Hills Foods and fuel centers during the fundraiser can choose to donate $1, $5 or $10 at checkout or round up their totals to the nearest dollar. Online donations are also possible through Fast Lane.
All funds raised during the fundraiser will be equally distributed among the three nonprofits.
“Thanks to the generosity of our store guests and our Associates, we are honored to extend the spirit of Memorial Day to support our troops, Veterans, their families and those in need,” said SpartanNash EVP and Chief Customer Officer David Sisk, who also serves on the board of directors for Honor and Remember.
“Our trio of partners make a difference for our heroes and their families every day, and we are incredibly proud to support and elevate their life-enhancing work.”
Since 2015, SpartanNash and its communities have provided $2 million in donations to patriotic and hero partners through the SpartanNash Foundation. The recipient organizations benefiting from this fundraiser will provide support to people in need, including providing disaster response, honoring fallen service members and offering financial aid and support to military families.
“We cannot thank SpartanNash enough for their generosity and support of Honor and Remember over the past seven years. Their support is instrumental in recognizing our nation’s fallen heroes and their family’s enduring sacrifice,” said George Lutz, Honor and Remember founder, who will spend time visiting store guests and employees ahead of the fundraiser.
“Because of their store guests’ generosity, we have fulfilled countless flag requests for Gold Star Families. We look forward to continuing the patriotism, honor and remembrance tradition with SpartanNash.”
