H-E-B COORDINATES STATEWIDE RELIEF EFFORTS TO PROVIDE
SUPPORT TO THOSE DEVASTATED BY HURRICANE KATRINA
August 31, 2005 — San Antonio, Texas

To help provide aid to victims of Hurricane Katrina, H-E-B is partnering with America’s Second Harvest Food Banks throughout the state to coordinate donations of relief supplies. The food banks, working with the American Red Cross, will distribute these products to the effected region.

In addition, H-E-B has loaded five trailers filled with more than $100,000 of product, including bottled water, bread, canned meats, peanut butter, baby formula and baby diapers. The trailers, along with a tanker containing 5,500 gallons of drinking water, will be trucked to shelters housing evacuees.

In Texas and across the country, H-E-B has a strong legacy of donating truckloads of emergency supplies, drinking water and food to communities in crisis. A few of these communities include Mexico City during the 1985 earthquakes; the southern peninsula of Florida and south central Louisiana in 1992 after Hurricane Andrew; Houston in 2001, following the floods from Tropical Storm Allison; New Braunfels, Texas when floods struck in 2002; and to Piedras Negras, Mexico when flooding destroyed a major part of the border town in 2004.

Providing aid in times of disaster is the corner stone of H-E-B’s Helping. Here. philosophy, which promises to stand by communities during times of need.
