Henry County Health Center foundation benefits from purchases of Hy-Vee red bags

Henry County Health Center Foundation has been selected by the Mt. Pleasant Hy-Vee store management to benefit from the Hy-Vee reusable red bag program for the month of May.

For every $2.50 reusable red bag purchased at the Mt. Pleasant Hy-Vee in May HCHC Foundation will receive a $1 donation.

“This past year has presented some changes and challenges,” said Mark Hempen, director of HCHC Foundation. “Many of last year’s planned events had to be canceled or postponed. We are thrilled to be participating in this innovative program that makes it possible for shoppers to give to the HCHC Foundation by buying these reusable bags. We appreciate the community support in this important initiative to make a difference.”

Every month, at every Hy-Vee location, a different nonprofit is selected to benefit from the sale of these special reusable red bags to help reduce single-use plastics in the environment. HCHC Foundation was selected as the May beneficiary by managers at the store located in Mt. Pleasant.

Henry County Health Center Foundation was founded in 1990 and works to raise funds for the purchase of new medical equipment, support provider recruitment efforts, and other important health and wellness related initiatives throughout the county.
