The annual event provides free home-delivered meals to seniors and disabled residents unable to leave their homes due to age, serious illness, or permanent disability. This year’s Feast of Sharing event includes free holiday meals, entertainment, and a children’s play area.

Eligible residents should contact the City’s Call Center at 3-1-1 to reserve a home delivery now until Tuesday, December 20, at 5:00 p.m. or until we reach 1,000 requests for meals.

The annual feast is held in more than 34 cities across the state and in Mexico. On average, the event serves more than 250,000 meals each year. In the event’s 34-year history, more than 375,000 volunteers have helped serve nearly four million meals. The event is an integral part of H-E-B’s Hunger Relief Program, which works year-round to prevent hunger in more than 300 communities it serves. Since 1982, H-E-B has donated more than 1 billion pounds of food to 5,500 non-profit organizations and agencies in Texas and Mexico.
