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. The H‑E‑B Mobile Kitchens, two 45‑foot‑long food preparation facilities that are each designed to serve up to 2,500 meals per hour, will set up and serve hot meals to first responders and storm victims.
