Recently, the Iowa Educators’ Consortium (IEC), along with Martin Brothers Distributing Co., received rebate funds for providing post-sale information to a company called Healthcare Foodservice Sourcing Advantage (HFSA). HFSA is a purchasing organization that provides rebates from manufacturers in exchange for allowing them to see where products are sold. The IEC is passing every penny of the received rebate funds directly to Iowa schools.
During the next Heartland Administrator Association Meeting on May 4, all Heartland area school districts that buy food through the IEC will receive an additional rebate check. The amount of the check is prorated according to your 2009-10 foodservice purchases and will not affect your year-end rebate (which you will receive in September). Those not attending the HAA meeting will receive their checks in the mail.
