For the annual celebrations, more than 250,000 meals are served during 33 dinners throughout Texas and Mexico.

The H-E-B Feast of Sharing is a series of festive gatherings that include more than 250,000 meals served during 33 dinners throughout Texas and Mexico. Filled with food, music, and good cheer, these free holiday feasts bring together family, friends and neighbors, and provides H-E-B an opportunity to give thanks to its loyal customers. Launched in 1989, the H-E-B Feast of Sharing invites everyone to our holiday dinner table. This initiative is an important part of H-E-B’s Food Bank Assistance Program, which works year-round to prevent hunger.

Below is a schedule of Feast of Sharing events and contacts for volunteer opportunities. Please check back for updates.
