On the 23rd anniversary of the 9/11 attacks, H-E-B went above and beyond to show appreciation for first responders across Texas. In a heartwarming gesture, more than 3,000 H-E-B employees visited 900 fire and police stations around the state, stocking their fridges and pantry shelves with essential groceries and goodie bags.
This act of kindness is part of H-E-B’s 20th Annual Helping Heroes event, an initiative that aims to recognize and support the brave men and women who serve as first responders. It’s a way for H-E-B employees to give back to those who work tirelessly to keep our communities safe.
Monica Garza, a representative from H-E-B, expressed gratitude for the partnership with first responders, stating, “This is our way to really contribute or give back to them, to honor them for the work they do every day to keep our community safe.”
The Helping Heroes initiative coincides with Sept. 11, recognized as a National Day of Service and remembrance. It serves as a tribute to the courageous individuals who risked and sacrificed their lives during the tragic events of 9/11.
