Hy-Vee & Dole Are Giving Away Free Bananas @ NorthPark Mall

Yes, we have some bananas. Hy-Vee plans to 'dole' some out tomorrow. Ok, enough with the puns and obscure lyrics.

Hy-Vee will be giving away 32,000 pounds of bananas to 2,600 customers beginning at 4 p.m. Tuesday (May 5) at NorthPark Mall, 320 W. Kimberly Road, in Davenport.

The giveaway is courtesy of Dole Food Company according to a news release from Hy-Vee.

Store employees will give away the fruit on a first-come, first-served basis and will continue until 6 p.m. or until supplies run out. Each bag will contain two bunches – about 12 bananas – of fresh Dole organic bananas as the coronavirus continues to impact individuals and families across Iowa and Illinois.

Staff will safely load the bags into your car on the south side of the mall off of West Kimberly Road in the JC Penney parking lot. NorthPark Mall donated the space for the event. Everyone helping will be wearing masks and gloves, will use a contact-less method to load the bananas to limit physical contact.

Stay in your car though; no walk-ups will be allowed.
