SpartanNash Foundation Grants $5,000 to Guiding Light
The SpartanNash Foundation is the charitable giving arm of Spartan Stores and Nash Finch Companies and is focused on providing grants to nonprofit community partners that assist:
- Neighbors in need of food
- Neighbors in need of shelter
- Servicemen and women and our veterans, who have given so much to our Country
The $5,000 grant will be used for both the Recovery and the Back to Work Programs.
The Guiding Light Recovery Program is the only long-term residential recovery program in Kent County. This program is for men who seek to overcome chronic homelessness, substance abuse, spiritual destitution and life challenges.
Our Back to Work Program has become the centralized theme for shelter guests/residents. Men come from different places and backgrounds, defeats and obstacles, but the end point is identical – getting back to work and being able to be a contributing member of society.
