These mask distribution efforts are part of the U.S. Department of Health & Human Services' program to curb the spread of COVID-19 and correlate to SpartanNash’s broader stewardship of social issues and alignment to the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (“UN SDGs”). The program supports the Company’s commitment to UN SDG 3: Good Health & Well-Being, along with other initiatives to ensure that customers, Associates, and the communities in which SpartanNash operates have the nourishing food, healthcare and quality health education and tools necessary to promote long and healthy lives.
“We are proud that our robust supply chain network is being leveraged to distribute the largest deployment of personal protective equipment in U.S. history,” said SpartanNash President and CEO Tony Sarsam. “We are also grateful for the role our SpartanNash Associates continue to play in serving our customers throughout COVID-19. Offering these masks is one more way we can do our part to keep our guests healthy as we respond to the ongoing challenges associated with this pandemic.”
“Beyond hunger, SpartanNash’s concern for public health has now prompted a donation of these N95 masks for distribution to those in need in our communities,” said Kara Ross, president and CEO of Food Bank of Eastern Michigan. “These masks will be arriving in our warehouses soon and made available to the public through mobile distributions hosted by agencies in our hunger relief network. The Food Bank sincerely appreciates SpartanNash’s forethought in obtaining these masks and making them available to our neighbors in need.”
SpartanNash pharmacies continue to offer complimentary COVID-19 vaccines and boosters for those at least five years old, COVID-19 PCR tests by appointment at select pharmacy locations (patients can visit doIneedacovid19test.com to set up testing appointments), and over-the-counter self-collection tests are available for purchase.
