Giving Back recognizes businesses and organizations that are helping our communities. Here’s a look at who gave back for July.
Hy-Vee
Hy-Vee Inc., in partnership with Variety – the Children’s Charity, has wrapped up a fundraising campaign that will provide at least one bike to a child in communities with a Hy-Vee grocery store. Through Petals for Pedals, a portion of each dozen roses that were sold for $10 at Hy-Vee stores went to the fundraiser. Employees from Hy-Vee, Variety and Bike World, supplier of the bicycles, assembled them at Hy-Vee’s corporate campus. Each bike will come with a helmet and lock.
