TOPEKA (KSNT) – Veterans Day celebrations kicked off bright and early Wednesday morning, as veterans and their families were treated to a free breakfast at a local grocery store.
Hy-Vee in west Topeka opened its doors at 6 a.m. on Nov. 11 for its 27th annual Veterans Day breakfast. Store workers provided a free meal to active-duty service members, veterans and their families. But the breakfast is just one way Hy-Vee supports the military community throughout the year.
“Hy-Vee has always been a strong supporter of the military,” said Jason Stocker, store director. “And this is just one other example of it that we do every year. And then we also donate to various veterans’ organizations throughout the year as well.”
