SpartanNash Associates give back to their communities through volunteer efforts, building local relationships with one another and with their favorite nonprofit organizations and causes.
Many of our Associates have been volunteering for years or even decades, while others may be searching for the right opportunity to make a difference. As a company, we want to support our Associates who have, on their own, made a commitment to volunteering, and we want to inspire other Associates to begin or increase their volunteering efforts. In this way, we can continually build stronger communities for our families and neighbors.
SpartanNash Associates who record more than 100 volunteer hours in a calendar year join the 100 Club. Members then select their favorite 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization to receive a $100 donation in their name. This enables SpartanNash to recognize and reward those who go above and beyond in their volunteering efforts.

Our Core Behavior We Serve is at the center of our People First culture. For all of us, service means showing up and contributing to shared success. In June 2024, SpartanNash hosted our largest-ever Helping Hands Day. During the annual day of community service, 700 SpartanNash Associates in Grand Rapids, Mich. teamed up to pack nearly 15,000 meal boxes, all of which were donated to nonprofit partner Convoy of Hope. Each box contained enough food to feed a family of four for one week, and boxes will be distributed by Convoy of Hope following natural disasters such as floods, hurricanes and tornadoes. In total, Associates’ efforts during Helping Hands Day mean that more than 500,000 meals and 5,000 personal hygiene toiletry kits are now available for Convoy of Hope when they’re needed most. Additional Helping Hands Days are also held in Norfolk, Va. and Minneapolis each year.
