"We love the environment, it's so fun. The food is good," Austin resident Angelina Gutierrez said."Every year we look for ways to celebrate with our community and our customers," H-E-B Public Affairs Manager Tamra Jones said.

We have a lot of folks that are experiencing homelessness that come out here and have a free meal that might not have another opportunity to have a traditional holiday meal," Jones said.
"As where they had small amounts going to the mobile distribution, it's like they've almost tripled the size of folks coming out. The need is great," Jones said.The leftovers will not go to waste. They will go to the Central Texas Food Bank to continue serving more people.that I have read and agree
