Iowa Hy-Vee Stores To Give Veterans Free Breakfast In November

We can never do enough to thank our veterans for their service to the U.S. Every year, we take one day to honor veterans during Veterans Day.

Once again, Hy-Vee will be honoring our nation’s military heroes in its communities in Iowa and other states.

Every November, Hy-Vee salutes our nation’s veterans and active-duty military through the Hy-Vee Homefront initiative, which includes fundraising and a free Veterans Day breakfast. This year, Iowans can also honor military veterans by visiting the Spirit of Iowa Tribute Bell at select Hy-Vee locations leading up to Friday, Nov. 10, which is the federally recognized holiday.

The bell symbolizes support for military veterans and service members across Iowa. It also serves as a way for the community to honor and remember the service of military veterans.

Veterans Day Free Dine-In Breakfast

Hy-Vee will honor Veterans Day on Friday, Nov. 10, by offering all veterans and active duty military members a free breakfast. A buffet-style breakfast will be offered from 6 a.m. to 10 a.m. at Hy-Vee stores.

Additionally, veterans and active-duty military will receive 15% off their grocery purchases on Friday, Nov. 10 when they shop at Hy-Vee, Dollar Fresh Market and Hy-Vee Fast & Fresh locations.

Hy-Vee Homefront Round Up

This is Hy-Vee’s annual fundraiser in which the company teams up with customers to raise money to support veterans, active-duty military members, and their families. The fundraiser will be held Nov. 1 - 15 at all Hy-Vee stores and Dollar Fresh Market stores across its eight-state region. Hy-Vee will match all customer donations up to $100,000, with all proceeds benefiting Hope for the Warriors, Operation First Response, the American Red Cross, and the Puppy Jake Foundation.

Hiring Heroes

This is Hy-Vee’s recruiting initiative that actively recruits veterans and active-duty military to work for Hy-Vee and its subsidiaries. The company provides specific benefits for veterans, such as a paid day off on Veterans Day, relocation assistance, and hiring bonuses based on eligibility.
