H-E-B is returning the favor. A convoy of 10 trucks and 100 H-E-B employees is on its way to Florida to assist Publix Super Markets Inc.’s operations and relief efforts.
The San Antonio-based retailer posted a video on its Facebook page on Wednesday saying:
“Because we’re stronger together, H-E-B is repaying the kindness shown to us by our friends at Publix and beyond during Hurricane Harvey. Today, we sent trucks to Florida to help with relief from Hurricane Irma. Our friends near and far were there in our time of need, so it’s our turn to lend a helping hand. #TexasStrong”
Publix shipped water, generators and cleaning supplies to H-E-B stores following Hurricane Harvey, and pledged more than $250,000 in relief efforts, according to an article in the San Antonio Express-News.
