Last week, Hy-Vee and KCCI-TV worked together to fight food insecurity in Central Iowa. “Pack the Pantry” was a collaborative initiative to stock local food pantries across the region to prepare for the start of summer when pantries see a rise in need. Throughout the week, Hy-Vee employees and volunteers from local pantries joined customers to drop-off food at area stores, which were donated to a nearby pantry. Additionally, customers rounded up their purchases at the register as part of our continuing 100 Million Meals Challenge. In all, Hy-Vee and KCCI raised more than 347,000 meals benefitting Central Iowa families in need.
That is fantastic and there are more organizations needing assistance such as the Jewish Vocational Service of Kansas City needs help and looking to connect please contact Zach Sellers with the Kesher KC Pantry
