A local family participates in Scan Away Hunger at a Des Moines area Hy-Vee store.

Hope begins with a meal for the homeless and hungry in our community. Scan Away Hunger takes place each holiday season starting after Thanksgiving and running through December. Scan Away Hunger plates are available at participating Hy-Vee stores. Each time your checker scans the code on your Scan Away Hunger plate, $2.05 is added to your bill to feed and care for homeless and hungry people at Hope Ministries.

All funds received through Scan Away Hunger will be used to help feed and care for homeless and hungry men, women and children in central Iowa throughout the year.

Hope Ministries is grateful to Hy-Vee and KCCI Channel 8 for their significant endorsement of our ministry and commitment to fight hunger and homelessness in our community.

We encourage you, your family, church, small group, employers, departments, civic and service clubs to actively promote and participate in Scan Away Hunger throughout December.

Scan Away Hunger 2008 begins the day after Thanksgiving—Friday, November 28—and runs until December 25. Stop in to participating Hy-Vee stores during these weeks to scan your plate, knowing that you are playing a role in providing food, clothing, shelter and recovery support for those in need during this holiday season. Thank you!
