The meals will continue to be free for children ages 12 and under. For customers over the age of 13, meals will be available for $3 with options for dine-in or takeout.

Hy-Vee also launched a register round-up campaign, allowing customers to support local food pantries in their communities by rounding up their purchases at checkout.
Customers can also purchase $5 and $10 food bank donation bundles, which will be donated to a designated pantry in each store's community.
The efforts are in addition to Hy-Vee's $100,000 corporate donation made to Feeding America last week. The store is also making additional food donations to local food pantries.
