Iowa Hunger Calendar

The 12th Annual Hy-Vee Colossal Cookie sale will once again be held this year from September 7 to September 22! Hy-Vee will donate a penny to the DMARC network of food pantries for each cookie purchased at Des Moines area Hy-Vee stores during the sale.

This money adds up: since the Cookie Sale began in 2003, Hy-Vee stores have sold over 8.5 million cookies and have donated more than $85,000 in food products to DMARC's network of neighborhood pantries in greater Des Moines. Last year, Hy-Vee Food Stores from across the greater Des Moines area sold 552,617 cookies, and DMARC received over $5,500 in groceries for the Food Pantry Network.
