RAPIDS, Mich., July 2,
2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Food solutions company
SpartanNash (the "Company") (Nasdaq: SPTN) is proud to
announce that its foundation will be donating $260,000 to organizations whose missions closely
align with its giving pillar of Heroes – including Convoy of Hope,
Operation Homefront and Honor and Remember – following its annual
in-store fundraiser.
"By contributing to this campaign, our community members and
Associates have helped provide vital services to military heroes,
veterans, their families and those affected by disasters," said
SpartanNash Senior Vice President of Communications and SpartanNash
Foundation Executive Director Adrienne

families. Outside of this retail fundraiser, SpartanNash also
partnered with Convoy of Hope on its recent Helping Hands Day
volunteer event, which resulted in a donation of 500,000 meals for
disaster relief.
"We are extremely grateful to SpartanNash, the SpartanNash
Foundation and their Associates and loyal customers for their
investment in our important mission," said Brig. Gen. (ret.)
Robert D. Thomas, president and COO
of Operation Homefront, which has received more than $750,000 from the SpartanNash Foundation since
2018. "SpartanNash has helped us make a difference for thousands of
military families, providing them with the opportunity to thrive in
the communities they have worked so hard to protect."
The in-store fundraiser ran from May 22
to June 10, where store guests at participating
