WEST DES MOINES, IOWA (November 1, 2019) — Hy-Vee announced today it will team up with customers for the seventh consecutive year to fundraise for veterans, active-duty military members, and their families during its annual Hy-Vee Home-Front Round-Up event. The fundraiser will be held from November 1-17 at Hy-Vee’s more than 265 stores across its eight-state region.
During the Hy-Vee Home-Front Round-Up, customers can join Hy-Vee in supporting veterans, active-duty military members, and their families by rounding up their purchase to the nearest dollar, or other amount.

In addition to the Hy-Vee Home-Front Round-Up, Hy-Vee will commemorate Veterans Day on Monday, November 11, by offering a free breakfast to all veterans and active-duty military members.
