The Food Bank of Iowa received $472,900.31 in its first donation through Hy-Vee’s 100 Million Meals Challenge, which is helping 18 Feeding America food banks across eight states alleviate hunger. The donation to the Food Bank of Iowa will provide 727,538 meals across 55 Iowa counties. Shoppers at Hy-Vee, Dollar Fresh Market and Hy-Vee Fast & Fresh locations are encouraged to fight food insecurity by rounding up at the register. Funds collected in each community go to local food banks. The recent payment to food banks represents donations from March 1 through June 30, and the 100 Million Meals Challenge will continue through the end of the year.
