To servicemembers, from home

The first 500 active-duty service members nominated through the H-E-B Facebook page were slated to receive a care package filled with grocer favorites in honor of America’s Independence Day, according to the Texas chain.

H-E-B announced that 1,000 care packages were open to Texas military servicemembers serving away from home on July 4.

“To celebrate freedom and those who bravely protect it, H-E-B invites customers to nominate an active-duty military servicemember to receive an H-E-B care package,” the company announced.

“H-E-B has a longstanding commitment to our nation’s military, and we are honored to celebrate our nation’s independence by sharing a taste of Texas with deserving military servicemembers currently serving our country away from home,” said Johnny Mojica, H-E-B Public Affairs Manager.
