Disaster Relief
After 2020’s devastating derecho storm,
Hy-Vee delivered $312,000 in food, water and supplies to hard-hit communities in eastern Iowa. Hy-Vee also helped out with volunteer cleanup efforts and made on-site deliveries of water, snacks, supplies and phone-charging stations to disaster sites. Because September’s National Family Meals Month closely followed on the heels of the storm, Hy-Vee donated 500 meals to families in need as part of that initiative.
