Hy-Vee Giving Away Thousands Of Peaches Thursday

By News Jun 17, 2020 | 11:30 AM

Lincoln Hy-Vee stores will give away more than 28,800 free peaches to customers with a contactless, drive-thru event at Superior Hy-Vee on Thursday, June 18. The giveaway will start at 1 p.m. and continue until 3 p.m., or while supplies last.

In partnership with its fruit supplier SunWest Fruit Company, Hy-Vee is donating fresh produce to

Hy-Vee customers as the coronavirus (COVID-19) continues to impact individuals and families across Nebraska. Hy-Vee is giving away nearly 20 peaches to the first 1,400 customers at Lincoln Superior

Hy-Vee. In total, more than 1,400 giveaways will be available and approximately 4,800 pounds of fresh produce will be donated.

As more families continue to become financially impacted by the pandemic, Hy-Vee and SunWest Fruit Company believe it’s important to provide access to high-quality produce during this time of need.

Fresh peaches will be distributed to customers for free on a first-come, first-served basis. The giveaway will take place in the west area of the Lincoln Superior Hy-Vee parking lot. Product will be safely loaded into customer vehicles using a contactless method to minimize physical contact and enforce social distancing.

All event helpers will be wearing masks and gloves for additional safety measures. No walk-ups will be allowed.
