MUSCATINE, IOWA (October 28, 2019) — As part of Hormel Foods’ "Spread the Smiles" campaign, Hy-Vee and Hormel Foods have partnered to donate 1,000 pounds of Skippy peanut-butter to the Muscatine Food Bank.
The donation is part of a hunger program created by the makers of Skippy peanut-butter in 2018. Earlier this year, Hy-Vee participated in a sales promotion with Skippy, and as a result was provided more than 11,000 pounds of peanut-butter to be distributed to food banks in 11 different communities throughout its eight-state region.
On Tuesday, October 29, at 10:30AM, Muscatine Hy-Vee store employees will present 1,000 pounds of peanut butter to food-bank representatives of the Muscatine Food Bank (312 Iowa Ave, Muscatine, Iowa). The 1,000-pound donation is enough to make 16,300 peanut-butter sandwiches.
