“Here in Kent County, The Salvation Army has been blessed to have SpartanNash as a corporate partner at Christmas for more than two decades,” said Major Tim Meyer, The Salvation Army’s Grand Valley Area Commander. “Because of their generosity, and funds raised at their grocery stores, we are able to provide year-round funding to all of our programs, including the critical needs of helping to prevent hunger and homelessness.”
“SpartanNash is proud to be a longstanding corporate partner with The Salvation Army supporting the Red Kettle Campaign,” said SpartanNash Senior Vice President, Communications and SpartanNash Foundation Executive Director Adrienne Chance. “We are committed to fighting hunger in our communities and hosting this campaign at our grocery stores is one way we live our Core Behavior of ‘We Serve.’”
