SAN ANTONIO, TX (August 27, 2017) - In the wake of Hurricane Harvey, H-E-B is prepared to provide relief to storm-torn communities. H-E-B has mobilized its Emergency Response Team and dispatched its Disaster Response Units (DRUs) and the H-E-B Mobile Kitchens to the H-E-B at 1505 E. Rio Grande in Victoria.
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. More than 100 H-E-B Partners (employees) have volunteered to accompany the convoy and assist affected residents. Supplies to be delivered include food, water, ice, dry goods and medicine.
H-E-B's DRUs are fully equipped with an H-E-B Pharmacy and mobile Business Services unit, which allows displaced residents to fill prescriptions, cash checks and pay bills, as well as provide access to an ATM.
