WEST DES MOINES, Iowa (Nov. 2, 2021) — Hy-Vee, Inc. announced Tuesday the start of a monthlong campaign to honor our nation’s veterans and military members in our communities, as well as increase awareness of and support for organizations that serve veterans, active-duty military and their families.

The campaign is part of the company’s annual Hy-Vee Homefront initiative, which is comprised of several company efforts, including the “Hy-Vee Homefront Round-up” program at checkout and free Veterans Day breakfast, as well as an active recruitment effort to hire veterans and service members transitioning to civilian life to the company’s workforce.

Hiring Heroes is Hy-Vee’s recruiting initiative that actively seeks out veterans and active-duty military to work for Hy-Vee and its eight subsidiaries. Throughout November, Hy-Vee will hold special virtual events for veterans and service members returning to civilian life to learn about career opportunities across its eight-state region.

The company provides specific benefits for veterans, such as a paid day off on Veterans Day, relocation assistance and hiring bonuses based on eligibility. Interested individuals can register for a virtual event at Hy-Vee.com/Homefront.
