VG’s Partner with Outreach East for “Help to Feed those in Need” Campaign
Outreach East is proud to partner with the SpartanNash Foundation during its retail scan campaign to provide hunger relief in the local community. Between Oct. 22nd and Nov 2nd store guests who visit the VG’s Of Davison will have the opportunity to donate $1, $5, $10 or round up their purchase at any checkout lane, with 100 percent of dollars raised going directly to Outreach East.
“While the pandemic may be ‘over,’ Outreach East deeply values these additional fundraising efforts,” said Jan Lebert of Outreach East. “We’ve seen a 20% increase in clients over the past few months compared to last year, driven by inflation and rising rents, especially impacting our seniors.”
Outreach East’ mission is to promote a healthy, caring and just community for all people by providing basic needs such as food, clothing, and shelter; supplying crisis support, emergency services; and encouraging neighbors to help neighbors in need.
SpartanNash – which owns the Vg’s Groceries of Davison Store – underwrites the cost of the fundraising campaign so that all donations will benefit Outreach East and families in need in the local community.
“One in 6 people” said Adrienne struggles with hunger, and as little as $1 can provide up to four meals for those in need through Chance, SpartanNash vice president communications and executive director of the SpartanNash Foundation. “Each of our corporate-owned stores has hand-selected a partner pantry, so that we can work together to provide hunger relief in the communities where SpartanNash associates and our store guests live and work.”
SpartanNash distributes grocery products to independent and chain retailers in 50 states and its 146 corporate-owned retail stores in addition to fresh produce distribution. Through its MDV military division, SpartanNash is a leading distributor of grocery products to U.S. military commissaries around the world.
