Subject: Launch Day: Hy-Vee Reusable Bag Program!

Hello,

Today is launch day for the Hy-Vee Reusable Bag Program that supports local non-profits! Starting today and for the entire month of February, when you purchase a $2.50 red My Heart Reusable Bag at the Hy-Vee located at 2115 South MacArthur Blvd., $1 is donated to American Legion Post 32, unless otherwise directed by the customer through the Giving Tag attached to the bag.

Our goal is to sell 200, $2.50 red My Heart Reusable Bags, equivalent to $200 raised. We are confident that with the help of our dedicated supporters, we can reach this goal.

We strongly encourage you to share this news with family and friends as well!

The red My Heart Reusable Bags are located on displays around the store and at the checkout. For more information about the program, please visit hy-vee.bags4mycause.com.

Thank you for your support,  

Bruce ONeil

Commander American Legion Post 32
