Hy-Vee on Henderson Street and Main Street generously distributed 700 hams to families in the Galesburg area yesterday during a ham pick-up event held on the Galesburg Junior/Senior High campus. Student groups, Rotary Interact and Key Club, assisted Hy-Vee staff with distribution activities. The frigid temperatures did not deter our students and staff from helping make this a successful event. We are proud to be able to partner with area companies like Hy-Vee who are helping to spread holiday cheer in the community. #Thisis205
