An Emergency Response Team, equipped with Disaster Relief Units and the H-E-B Mobile Kitchens, worked from Sunday through Monday in Victoria to serve more than 8,000 meals and provide supplies to people in need. On Tuesday, the units and Mobile Kitchens will relocate and stage at the Rockport H-E-B, 1409 Highway North Business. HEB expects to be in Rockport by mid-afternoon, setting up for dinner service where the company expects to serve more than 2,000 meals.

As the storm develops HEB intends to continue to assess where the support of the disaster relief units is needed most.

The convoy of more than 15 vehicles, which includes the DRUs, two H-E-B Mobile Kitchens, water and fuel tankers and H-E-B trailers, will deliver much-needed relief supplies and services to the communities in the affected hurricane area. H-E-B’s DRUs are fully equipped with an H-E-B Pharmacy and mobile Business Services unit, which will allow displaced residents to fill prescriptions, cash checks and pay bills, as well as provide access to an ATM. The H-E-B Mobile Kitchens, two 45-foot-long food preparation facilities that are designed to serve up to 6,000 meals per day, will set up and serve hot meals to first responders and storm victims.

In all, more than 100 H-E-B Partners continue to help with our Mobile Kitchen and Disaster Relief Unit efforts.

HOW TO DONATE: All H-E-B, Central Market and Joe V’s Smart Shop stores across Texas will launch a statewide tear pad campaign offering customers an opportunity to support victims by donating in increments of $1, $3, or $5 at the checkstand.

All money accepted from the tear pad campaign, as well as a $100,000 donation from H-E-B, will benefit the American Red Cross, The Salvation Army and Feeding Texas.

DONATION RECAP: On Tuesday morning, Central Market stores and Partners will serve breakfast to more than 300 people at Red Cross shelters in Dallas. On Monday, Central Market stores delivered breakfast to three Dallas-area shelters, feeding about 600 people displace by the storm. The Central Market team also is gearing up to serve requests from the Mayor's Office and Red Cross to help feed up to 5,000 evacuees at the Kay Bailey Hutchison Convention Center.

We have over 120 H-E-B Partners from Laredo to Brownsville in our Border Region that have deployed to the Gulf Coast to help with recovery efforts in Corpus Christi. On Monday, multiple Partner teams went to help with store efforts in Victoria.

On Tuesday, dozens of H-E-B Partners from San Antonio will help with donation efforts at the San Antonio Food Bank. H-E-B will donate a trailer filled with cases of water and another truckload of food and dry goods to the organization to help in its relief efforts. Partners will unload trucks, starting at 1:30 pm. In San Antonio, several H-E-B Pharmacies are filling prescriptions for area shelters. The San Antonio region also has teams ready to assist in store recovery in Houston as soon as it is safe to enter the city.

So far, six Texas Food Banks have received water donations. Each location received a full truckload of water, which is about 20 pallets of bottled water. The locations are as follows:

South Texas Food Bank - Laredo

Corpus Christi Food Bank - Corpus Christi

Food Bank of the Golden Crescent - Victoria
