Hy-Vee Inc. thanked customers today for generously showing their respect and gratitude to slain Urbandale Police Officer Justin Martin and Des Moines Police Sgt. Anthony Beminio by donating nearly $140,000 to their families. In total, customers dropped off $138,318 at Des Moines-area Hy-Vee stores from last Wednesday through Sunday. To supplement customers’ donations, Hy-Vee gave $25,000 to each officer’s family. On Thursday, Hy-Vee will deliver two checks totaling nearly $190,000 to the Des Moines Police Officers’ Credit Union, which will divide the money equally and deposit it into funds established for Officer Martin’s and Sgt. Beminio’s families.
