SUMMARY:H-E-B 34th Feast of Sharing
DESCRIPTION:With this year’s H-E-B Feast of Sharing dinner\, H-E-B\, with the help from its Mobile Kitchens\, will serve traditional Texas-style meals at all its dinner locations in the state. Each event is filled with music\, activities for the family and a variety of free services such as health and wellness screenings and flu vaccinations. Some gatherings even get a visit from Santa!

In the more than three decades H-E-B has held the celebrations\, more than 375\,000 volunteers have helped serve nearly four million meals. \nThis initiative is an important part of H-E-B’s Hunger Relief Program\, which works year-round to prevent hunger.
