HyVee Reusable Bag Program
We are so excited to share that Santa Fe Waystation Food Pantry has been selected to be a part of the Hy-Vee Reusable Bag program that supports local non-profits, which is designed to make it easy for customers to contribute to their local community while supporting the environment.
For the month of April, each time a $2.50 red "My Heart" Reusable Bag is purchased at the
Hy-Vee located at 8900 West 135th St., Overland Park KS, $1 will be donated to Santa Fe Waystation, unless otherwise directed by the customer through the Giving Tag. This is a great way to raise awareness, support the environment and fundraise for our cause.
Everyone can help by spreading the news to friends and family. Call, send emails, and post on social media. Then, on April 1, 2021, head to HyVee and purchase your reusable bag. The more people who learn about the program and purchase the $2.50 red "My Heart" Reusable Bag during the month of April, the more money we will raise.
Thank you for your support!

Walk Kansas
It's time for Walk Kansas, so lets put on our walking shoes and get active! This annual event begins on March 28. Cost is $10 per person. Your enrollment fee grants you free access to all the programs in the flyer! For those who participate in SNAP or are 17 and younger, enrollment in the program is free. If you qualify for the fee waiver contact Johnson County K-State Research and Extension office at 913-715-7000.
It’s simple:
1. Gather six people,
2. Choose a captain,
3. Pick a team name,
4. Select your challenge, and
5. Record your progress along the way.
Walking isn’t the only activity that counts. Anything you do for 15 consecutive minutes or more, at a moderate or vigorous intensity, can count. Strengthening exercises also count. The physical activity goal for each team member is a minimum of 2 ½ hours (150 minutes) a week of activity.
How do I register a team?
1. Gather five other people who agree to motivate and encourage each other.
2. Get their email addresses.
3. Choose a team name and agree on who will serve as captain.
4. Have the captain go to his webpage, (https://www.walkkansasonline.org/), click on the yellow Register button, and follow the prompted
instructions.
