H-E-B is supporting the Texas food banks residents are leaning on in the wake of recent winter weather.
The Texas grocery chain announced a $1 million donation on Wednesday to support 18 food banks in Texas as the state recovers from a week-long winter and utility crisis which left residents cold, hungry and in the dark. The effort was highlighted by Ellen DeGeneres on her talk show Wednesday afternoon.
In addition to the monetary donations, H-E-B also donated $100,000 worth of Meal Simple meals to food banks.

The Texas grocery chain felt a statewide stress as the communities it serves were left without basic necessities, like power and water. While H-E-B worked to keep stores running, some locations experienced rolling energy outages as well, causing an interruption in the supply chain. H-E-B adjusted by changing store hours and adding to a product limit list that s been used throughout the coronavirus pandemic.Courtesy, H-E-B/Ben Porter
Update: H-E-B s product limit list frequently changes as the store helps Texans recover from last week s winter storm. The grocer keeps customers up to date through an online portal showing which items are subject to restricted purchasing limits.
