H-E-B support trucks create 'powerful moment' for Texans
When disaster strikes in Texas, it's not just first responders people look for — it's those familiar H-E-B trucks, rolling in like family.
Catch up quick: H-E-B has a disaster relief program that is often deployed during hurricane season, but also responded during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Over the weekend, H-E-B went back home to Kerrville — where it was founded more than 100 years ago — to help the hard-hit community.
Zoom in: Kenneth and Danielle Austin captured the moment in a now-viral Facebook post showing a convoy of H-E-B disaster relief trucks loaded with food and supplies, rolling through I-10 toward Kerrville.
What they're saying:"They helped our family last year during the hurricane that hit Sargent," the couple tells Axios in a joint comment. "It was such a powerful moment to see them driving in again to help another Texas community in need."
"We hold compassion and strength for everyone who has been impacted, and we remain committed to offer unwavering support to our communities," H-E-B said in a statement.
