We are a neighborhood market. Gene's Family Market associates live, work, and raise their families in the community where we do business. We consider it our responsibility to devote resources to improving the quality of life in our home communities. We are proud to be Michigan owned and operated, and are supplied by SpartanNash Stores, also a Michigan–based company. Few things promote a healthy business better than a vibrant community, but more than that, it feels good to know you can make someone else's life a little brighter. We believe that when people work together, great things happen.
2024–2025 School Year: receipts dated between September 1, 2024 and ending March 2, 2025 are valid
Over the past several years our store, along with other supermarkets with the same passion to support the education of our students, have provided over $380,000 in FREE educational equipment! We want your school to get its share of the many items available…and it is free.
When you shop at our store, save your receipts. Better yet, don't just save your own receipts. Ask your friends and relatives to save theirs, too! Send them to your school weekly and Tools 4 Schools volunteers will redeem them for computers, software, sporting goods, audio-visual aids, science items, books and other teaching tools FREE!
Since many of your students' families currently shop at our stores, your school already has a strong base of support for this program. Best of all, everyone in your community can take part. It's not limited to your school's students, administration and faculty. In fact, the more outside interest and enthusiasm generated, the greater the benefits to your school. Get businesses, community groups and other school supporters involved! Reminder: Every school must register each year to participate.
We know of no better way to serve the community than by enhancing the educational and developmental environment of our chidren. We look forward to your school's success in this year's program.
About The Program
By buying Our Family brand products, and saving the UPC barcodes from those cans, boxes and bottles, store guests can help schools, faith-based and other community organizations earn money for textbooks, art supplies and more. For each bundle of 500 Our Family UPC barcodes collected, participating nonprofit organizations can earn $25.
And with more than 2,000 high-quality, value-conscious items available through the Our Family brand – and more than 1,800 retail stores in 22 states and Puerto Rico that carry Our Family products – store guests can give back to their favorite non-profit organizations with each trip they make to the grocery store.
About The Program
