San Antonio’s holiday spirit shone brightly at the 32nd Annual H-E-B Feast of Sharing, held at the Henry B. Gonzalez Convention Center. Families enjoyed a delicious holiday meal while receiving free flu shots from H-E-B’s pharmacy team. The event, which has served nearly four million meals since its inception, continues to support hunger relief efforts throughout Texas and Mexico, showcasing the community’s dedication to giving back.
San Antonio sure knows how to spread the holiday spirit! This Saturday, the city came together for the 32nd Annual H-E-B Feast of Sharing, held at the lively Henry B. Gonzalez Convention Center. An impressive crowd of residents gathered to partake in a heartwarming holiday meal that left everyone smiling and satisfied.
Picture this: a beautifully decorated venue filled with the mouthwatering aroma of freshly cooked food! Guests enjoyed a delightful holiday meal featuring classic favorites like tender turkey, creamy mashed potatoes, green beans, fluffy dinner rolls, and delicious pie for dessert. What a perfect way to embrace the season of giving, surrounded by family, friends, and neighbors!
But the Feast of Sharing isn’t just about food. Attendees also had the opportunity to take care of their health right on the spot! H-E-B’s pharmacy team provided free flu shots, making it easier for everyone to stay healthy during the holiday season. What a thoughtful touch for the community!
Since its inception in 1989, H-E-B’s Feast of Sharing has grown into an extraordinary initiative, serving over 340,000 meals through 34 dinners across Texas and Mexico each year. The event is a practical expression of gratitude toward loyal customers and local communities.
Thanks to the dedication of over 375,000 volunteers over the years, nearly four million meals have been served through this remarkable event. It’s heartwarming to know that so many people come together to make this happen for those in need!
The Feast of Sharing is an integral part of H-E-B’s broader Hunger Relief Program, which works tirelessly year-round to combat hunger. Last year alone, H-E-B donated a staggering 34 million pounds of food to families in need. Since the program’s launch in 1982, it has delivered over 1 billion pounds of food to approximately 5,500 non-profit organizations across Texas and Mexico. That’s truly amazing!
But wait, there’s more! A separate drive-thru event is on the horizon in Houston, designed to serve 5,000 families in need. This exciting initiative will feature a mobile kitchen that distributes holiday meal boxes and freshly cooked hot meals to those who drive through.
Each family will walk away with four hearty meals while supplies last. The non-perishable items provided will include essentials like pie crust, pie filling, green beans, and corn. It’s an incredible way to ensure that families can enjoy a festive meal together.
The Houston event is not just about food—there’s fun involved too! The drive-thru gathering is H-E-B’s largest Feast of Sharing and promises entertainment for children, featuring a DJ and lively activities while families wait to receive their delicious holiday meals.
So there you have it! The H-E-B Feast of Sharing brings people together for a beautiful cause, fostering community and connection during the festive season. It’s heartwarming to witness the generosity and goodwill that shines brightly during this time of year. Here’s to many more years of sharing love, food, and joy with one another!
