SpartanNash Fundraises To Support Youth Services
SpartanNash has launched its annual in-store and online fundraiser through the SpartanNash Foundation, benefiting youth education nonprofit Junior Achievement (JA).
This annual fundraiser is part of an ongoing partnership between SpartanNash and JA to develop programs that help students explore careers in the food industry, which is aligned with JA's mission to "inspire and prepare young people to succeed in a global economy." In 2023, the companies launched a new experiential activation at JA Finance Park, featuring an immersive grocery storefront, which serves to inspire and educate students about SpartanNash careers and financial planning.
"SpartanNash is proud to raise funds for JA, whose impactful work in financial literacy, career readiness, and entrepreneurship nurtures career dreams of young leaders nationwide," said Adrienne Chance, senior vice president of Communications at SpartanNash and executive director of the SpartanNash Foundation. She also serves on the board of directors for JA of Michigan Great Lakes. "With the help of our communities, we can all contribute to student readiness as they prepare to enter adulthood and the workforce."
Proceeds from this fundraiser will go toward expanding access to JA's educational curriculums. Donations will be collected at participating SpartanNash-operated retail stores, including Family Fare, Martin's Super Markets, D&W Fresh Market, Metcalfe's Market, and fuel centers. Store guests can donate $1, $5, or $10 at checkout or round up to the nearest dollar. Online donations will also be accepted for online orders.
