The sweet surprise is courtesy of sol group donating the fresh produce to hy-vee's customers all in an effort to provide families with healthy foods in this time of food insecurity "we're lucky enough in st.
Joe to give these out to the community and we're loving every bit of it."
The event was drive thru styleand cars started lining up long before they were supposed to "it started a little early because our traffic almost got out to the belt highway and wrapped around our c-store, our gas station, so we went ahead and started giving out the watermelon a little early before ten, but we won't be out here for long."
The contactless giveaway was a hit smiles of gratitude peeking out underneath a sea of facemasks "oh, they're excited!
I mean, we had kids yelling at us, 'yay, yay, thank you!'
