Annual Heroes fundraiser benefits Folds of Honor, Operation Homefront and Convoy of Hope to uplift military families, Veterans and communities in need
GRAND RAPIDS, Mich.
, July 9, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Food solutions company SpartanNash® (the “Company”) (Nasdaq: SPTN) and the SpartanNash Foundation® recently joined with shoppers at Family Fare®, Martin’s Super Markets and D&W® Fresh Market to raise $330,000 to support military families, Veterans and communities in need. Held May 21 through June 23, the annual Heroes fundraiser united store guests and Associates across SpartanNash’s retail footprint in supporting three nonprofit partners – Folds of Honor, Operation Homefront and Convoy of Hope®. Each organization will receive a $110,000 donation to advance their respective missions of service, resilience and hope.
“These funds are more than just financial assistance – they’re a lifeline made possible by the generosity of our store guests,” said SpartanNash Senior Vice President and Chief Communications Officer Adrienne Chance, who is also the Executive Director of the SpartanNash Foundation. “Not only can Convoy of Hope continue delivering critical relief on the frontlines, our other partners in Operation Homefront and Folds of Honor can provide hope and resources to U.S. servicemembers, Veterans and their families. This campaign is a powerful reminder that when everyday people come together with purpose, they can help others in their time of greatest need.”
The SpartanNash Foundation has partnered with Operation Homefront during the annual Heroes fundraiser since 2018, adding Convoy of Hope and expanding the fundraiser to support both military and disaster relief partners in 2023.
This year, the Foundation fundraiser also included Folds of Honor and its educational scholarships for military and first responder families. Since it was founded in 2007, Folds of Honor has awarded nearly 62,000 educational scholarships.
“We are so grateful to the SpartanNash Foundation, its outstanding team and patriotic store guests for their impact in making a life-changing difference,” said Lt. Col. Dan Rooney, founder and CEO of Folds of Honor. “These funds will help provide an education to the families of fallen or disabled American heroes. Military servicemembers and first responders selflessly sacrifice every day, and this generous donation will ensure that their spouses and children are not forgotten.”
SpartanNash and the SpartanNash Foundation remain deeply committed to honoring heroes year-round through strategic nonprofit partnerships, volunteerism and fundraising initiatives that strengthen families and communities across the country.
