Norfolk, NE – This year, local community non-profits are more in need of support than in any other time in the recent years’ past. Now shoppers can give back to the local community and help to reduce single-use plastics by purchasing a special reusable bag at Hy-Vee. Midtown Health Center has been selected by local Hy-Vee store leadership as the benefiting non-profit in the Hy-Vee Reusable Bag Program for the month of January.
The Hy-Vee Reusable Bag Program is designed to give back to the local community with every reusable bag purchased. Every month, at every Hy-Vee location a different local non-profit is selected to benefit from the sale of these special reusable red “My Heart” bags, Midtown Health Center was selected as the January beneficiary by local store leadership at both stores in Norfolk. Midtown Health Center will receive a $1 donation for every $2.50 reusable red “My Heart” bag purchased at both locations in Norfolk during the month of January.
