Hy-Vee, Inc. in partnership with its melon vendor Sol Group, is donating more than 9,000 fresh cantaloupes to Harvesters - The Community Food Network in Topeka.

On Friday, Hy-Vee delivered 16 pallets of cantaloupes to the food bank. The donation comes as food banks across Kansas struggle to keep their shelves stocked due to increased demand from the coronavirus.

The donation to Harvesters is part of a series of donations that Hy-Vee and Sol are making to help provide fresh melons to families and food banks across Hy-Vee's eight-state region.
