The Pilgrims knew that a great meal and good fellowship can be healing even in the most troubling of times. Today, H-E-B continues that hospitality in an inspired, Texas-size way by hosting its annual Feast of Sharing holiday dinners across the Lone Star State as well as in Mexico.

H-E-B has sponsored the dinners for more than two decades. This year, H-E-B expects to serve piping-hot meals with all the trimmings to more than 250,000 people in 30 communities during November and December.

In addition to the meal, H-E-B makes the Feast of Sharing dinner in each community more special by providing entertainment, children’s activities, and even health screenings. At the December dinners, Santa will visit and take note of Christmas wishes. Hundreds of volunteers from H-E-B and local communities offer their time and energy to serve the guests.
