Our first Fall Day of Caring was in 1997 and 29 years later, we’re still carrying on. We dug through the archives and found some gems from Fall Day of Caring over the years, so obviously we had to share. 📸🪏✨

Now it’s your turn to be part of the tradition! Join us October 2 as we team up with 8 organizations across Central Texas for a day of giving back.

Your vote = your voice. 🗳️✨ And we want to make sure you’re ready to use it.

Midterm elections have historically seen lower voter turnout, which makes showing up especially important. Your vote is one way to have a say in the decisions that shape your community.

In Texas? The deadline to register to vote is October 5. Visit VoteTexas.gov.

Outside of Texas? Visit Vote.gov to find voter registration information for your state.

And this is just the beginning 👀 Over the next few weeks, we’ll be sharing more videos, graphics, deadlines, and helpful info to make voting feel a little easier.

GET OUT THE VOTE!

As if we needed another reason to love H-E-B more. ❤️

Year after year, H-E-B Partners show up for our Central Texas community in a BIG way. Through their support of our organization, H-E-B Partners are helping fellow Central Texans access child care, food, housing support, and other resources when they need them most.
That’s what being rooted here looks like. Neighbors helping neighbors, right here at home. Thank you again, !
