Beyond its nationwide retail and distribution businesses, Grand Rapids, Mich.-based SpartanNash also operates a $1.89 billion military business segment, supplying commissaries and exchanges at U.S. military bases across the globe. Following Russia’s invasion of Ukraine on Feb. 24, SpartanNash quickly mobilized its domestic and international supply-chain networks to gather and pack critical food and supplies and ship them to humanitarian teams in Warsaw, Poland—committing in the process to donating more than $1 million in products ranging from energy bars to personal hygiene items. The company also made an immediate cash donation of $25,000 to not-for-profit logistics partner Convoy of Hope.
“This is a humanitarian disaster, and SpartanNash is uniquely positioned to support Ukrainians in addition to the American military heroes who are serving on the front lines of this crisis,” SpartanNash President and CEO Tony Sarsam said in a news release about the company’s response.
