Company aims to raise $300,000 to support food pantries across nine
states
GRAND
RAPIDS, Mich., Oct. 25,
2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Food solutions
company SpartanNash® (the "Company")
(Nasdaq: SPTN) has launched its eighth annual fundraiser to support
local food pantries across the Midwest this holiday season. Running
through Nov. 3, the campaign aims to
raise $300,000, with 100% of
donations staying in the communities where they are collected.
Store guests can contribute by donating $0.50, $1,
$5 or $10 at the checkout in SpartanNash-operated
stores, including Quick Stop convenience stores, or online at
shopfamilyfare.com. These donations will directly benefit food
pantries in Indiana, Iowa, Michigan, Minnesota, Nebraska, North
Dakota, Ohio, South Dakota and Wisconsin.
"As a leading food solutions company, SpartanNash takes to heart
our responsibility to help fight hunger," said SpartanNash SVP and
Chief Communications Officer Adrienne
Chance. "This initiative, powered by the generosity of our
shoppers and Associates, is all about delivering the ingredients
for a better life to those who need it most, when they need it the
most."
In 2023, SpartanNash and its store guests raised over
$300,000 to help local food pantries
provide critical resources to their communities. Since its
inception, the annual fundraiser has raised more than $2 million. With food insecurity affecting more
than 13% of U.S. households in 2023, according to the USDA, this
year's support is more crucial than ever.
"Our partnership with SpartanNash is truly special—it's about
building a foundation for stronger communities," said Kids' Food
Basket® VP of Philanthropy Tamara VanderArk-Potter. "With their
support, we can provide essential nutrition and create a path to a
better future for families facing hardship."
