SAN ANTONIO — In the wake of devastating floods that impacted Texas communities including Kerr County, H-E-B, the Butt Family and the H.E. Butt Foundation announced a $5 million commitment to fund nonprofit organizations supporting the recovery efforts.

This includes a $2 million donation to the Community Foundation of the Texas Hill Country to back the foundation’s Kerr County Flood Relief Fund, created to support organizations providing rescue and relief efforts to communities impacted by the natural disaster.

“Since 1905, our family has built a deep connection to Kerrville and the communities of the Hill Country where our company began.” said Stephen Butt, H-E-B president of shareholder relations. “Our founder, Florence Butt, was known for sharing food with those in need on the banks of the Guadalupe River. Her commitment to serving others inspired H-E-B’s Spirit of Giving, which is a cornerstone of our company. Today, we are proud to continue her legacy and stand with great resolve to help our communities as they begin to recover.”

“Our partners have big hearts, and we will continue to support our neighbors. H-E-B and our dedicated partners are here to help.” — Howard Butt III | CEO | H-E-B

The retailer is also committing gifts to an array of nonprofits including the American Red Cross, Texas Search and Rescue and the Salvation Army. Gift cards are also being distributed to impacted communities, nonprofit organizations and school districts.

“For 120 years, the Butt family has proudly called Kerrville home,” said Howard Butt III, H-E-B CEO. “Our hearts ache for the children, families and communities facing tremendous loss throughout Texas in the wake of these floods. Our partners have big hearts, and we will continue to support our neighbors. H-E-B and our dedicated partners are here to help.”

In addition to the financial support, H-E-B sent its mobile kitchen to Ingram, TX, and offered provisions such as cleaning supplies and gift cards to help affected areas, including Center Point and Hunt, TX. Employees went to other cities impacted by the flooding to offer meals, gift cards and more.

For H-E-B customers looking to support the recovery efforts in Kerr County, the grocer has launched a check stand donation campaign to offer a way to donate when shopping in-store and online. All funds from this campaign will support the nonprofits working to give back.
