2,800 H-E-B Employees Salute Local Heroes Statewide at Fire Stations
H-E-B will honor our nation’s firefighters for their dedication and selfless service with the fifth annual company-wide volunteer program Helping Heroes on Friday, Sept. 11. More than 800 Greater Houston-area H-E-B Partners (employees) from more than 60 H-E-B stores, including local distribution centers, will visit local fire stations to serve breakfast and lunch to firefighters and help with around-the-station chores. As part of this program, H-E-B will adopt 104 fire stations throughout the city.
Statewide, 2,800 H-E-B Partners from more than 270 H-E-B locations, including stores, manufacturing and support centers and administration facilities, will visit more than 400 fire stations on Friday, Sept. 11.
“We look forward to honoring our community’s first responders and local firefighters each year through the Helping Heroes program. Whether we are working in the yard or cooking hot meals, it is our goal to show appreciation for our Heroes’ dedication to the community every day,” said Cyndy Garza-Roberts, public affairs director of H-E-B, Houston.
In addition to cooking meals for the morning and afternoon shifts, H-E-B volunteers will perform service and maintenance projects such as yard work, station and fire engine cleaning, painting, equipment cleaning and preparation work.
The Helping Heroes program allows H-E-B Partners to commemorate the heroism of civil servants throughout the state while celebrating local Heroes who risk their lives every day to protect the community. This community project also honors September 11 as a National Day of Service and Remembrance that pays tribute to the rescue teams who risked and lost their lives at the World Trade Center.
