SpartanNash & Shoppers Help More Than 100 Local Food Pantries

SpartanNash Foundation and its shoppers partnered to raise nearly $800,000 that was donated to over 100 local food pantries just in time for the holidays.

A Grocery Store Giant That Helps Communities

SpartanNash runs over 200 grocery stores in nearly a dozen midwestern states under the brands Family Fare, Martin's Super Markets, and D&W Fresh Market. I have witnessed SpartanNash's generosity in two different states with two of the its brands.

I worked in South Bend, Indiana, for 18 years and did a food drive called "Stuff a Bus" with Martin's Super Markets. I witnessed SpartanNash's store chains' commitment and generosity year after year and they continue this partnership to this day.

The radio group I work for currently does a major holiday event each called the "Holiday Break-Ins" helping families who may not have a Christmas. Today they donated $10,500 in groceries to help us help seven families we are working with from their Family Fare store chain.

It is pretty easy for me to say that SpartanNash puts their money and resources where their mouth is.
