H-E-B customers in Texas took a stand against hunger with another record-breaking Help End Hunger campaign, raising $611,200 to benefit 17 Texas Feeding America food banks.

A check in the amount of $8,700 was presented to the food bank as result of a tear-pad campaign that ran May 6 - July 19. Tear-off coupons in the amounts of $1, $3 and $5 were located at checkout stands in area H-E-B grocery stores, where customers could add the desired donation amount to their final grocery bill to benefit their local food bank. As a result of the donation, more than 30,450 meals will be made available to area residents served by the food bank.
