MASON CITY – HyVee stores in Mason City are inviting their customers to Check Out Hunger at their stores from Feb 2-7. During the Check out Hunger campaign HyVee customers can purchase a tribute step up to the plate card to benefit Hawkeye Harvest Food Bank at the Hy Vee cash registers for a donation of one dollar or more.

“This Hawkeye Harvest Food Bank Step Up to the Plate tribute donation offers our employees and customers an affordable and very thoughtful way to help our food bank” noted HyVee East manager Brad Walters. HyVee East, HyVee West and the HyVee Drug Store in Mason City will have the tribute cards available. The three stores will collect the money and donate 100% of these contributions they receive during their Check out Hunger event to Hawkeye Harvest Food Bank.

Hawkeye Harvest Food Bank provided enough food to make over 200,000 meals this past year for almost 17,000 people and the need has been increasing greatly over the past few months explained project volunteer Ozzie Ohl. “We are an all volunteer food bank of 125 people that provides emergency food services to people from 42 different towns and 12 counties in north Iowa. People who use the food bank are referred to the food bank by the Department of Human Services, local churches and the Salvation Army. They all meet USDA poverty guideline standards according to the food bank.

Hawkeye Harvest Food Bank is an IRS approved 501-c non profit and is the largest all volunteer food bank served by the Food bank of Iowa. To learn more about Hawkeye Harvest Food Bank visit their Facebook page.
