Hy-Vee, Inc. announced today it will donate more than 25,000 gallons of bottled water – which equates to five semi truckloads – to the town of Campbell, a community within French Island, Wisconsin, impacted by PFAS water contamination.
The bottled water donated by Hy-Vee will be available for pickup by local residents from 3 p.m. to 6 p.m. on Thursday, March 25, at the Days Inn, east side of the parking lot, located at 101 Sky Harbor Drive in La Crosse.
Residents from the French Island community will be able to pick up two 24-packs of bottled water per person in their family, while supplies last. The donation is enough to supply 4,000 people for the next several days. Hy-Vee employees will assist in distributing the water on Thursday afternoon.
Hy-Vee is known for taking care of the communities it serves. The grocery chain has plans to construct a future store in the area where the former Sears in La Crosse was located.
