SAN ANTONIO — H-E-B has stepped up once again to help make sure that those in need don't go hungry.

The popular Texas grocery store has pledged to donate $5 million to support food banks across Texas and a $1 million gift to benefit Meals on Wheels programs across the state.

This donation is timely considering that the USDA just announced that no federal benefits will go out on Nov. 1 due to the government shutdown, which began Oct. 1.

The $5 million gift will be distributed among food banks in the Feeding Texas network, supporting their efforts to combat food insecurity.
