Hy-Vee ranks among the top 20 supermarket chains in the United States.
Hy-Vee supports Iowan's well-being through their network of Registered
Dietitians, their Seasons Online Magazine, and their Get Growing website.
Hy-Vee's philanthropy encompasses financial contributions to hundreds of
causes, leadership roles in non-profit organizations and one-on-one
volunteer contacts in the community. The company’s autonomous
structure fosters a spirit of entrepreneurship that allows stores to custom-
tailor their contributions to meet the needs of their communities.
At the corporate level, Hy-Vee’s giving focuses on the support of
organizations that provide for the general well-being of children in regard
to their physical, emotional, educational and cultural needs. Hy-Vee
partners with Variety, the Children's Charity on the Cash for Kids program,
which brings together grocery wholesalers, retailers, manufacturers and
food brokers in a coupon redemption program to raise funds for children.
Other events, activities and programs raise additional funds each year. Hy-
Vee also supports the disaster relief work of the Red Cross through
corporate donations and through partnerships between Hy-Vee stores and
local Red Cross chapters.
