Hy-Vee Round Up Raises Over $300,000 to Fight Childhood Hunger
Partnering with Feeding America to Support Local Food Pantries Across the Midwest
March 31, 2025
March 31, 2025 — The Caitlin Clark Foundation is proud to announce the incredible success of its partnership with Hy-Vee through the Round Up campaign, which raised over $300,000 in March 2025 to help fight childhood hunger across the Midwest.
Throughout the month, customers at Hy-Vee, Dollar Fresh Market, and Fast & Fresh locations were invited to round up their purchases to the nearest dollar or contribute directly with all proceeds directed to the Caitlin Clark Foundation. In partnership with Feeding America, the Caitlin Clark Foundation then distributed the funds to local food banks and pantries across the region, ensuring that the donations made stayed in the communities where they were given.

Nutrition is very important to children’s growth and wellbeing and has been instrumental to my success as an athlete. By providing meals to families in need, we can help make sure each child has the energy they need to succeed.

The initiative reflects the Foundation’s mission to uplift youth through education, nutrition, and sports: three pillars Caitlin credits as foundational to her own success. By collaborating with trusted partners like Hy-Vee and Feeding America, the Caitlin Clark Foundation continues to create measurable, community-level impact for children and families facing food insecurity.

Hy-Vee has been part of Caitlin’s journey since the beginning. This round up is just one more way we can partner together with our shared belief that feeding and supporting kids today will build stronger communities tomorrow.
