SAN ANTONIO – In response to the devastating floods that have swept through the Hill Country, H-E-B, the Butt family, and the H.E. Butt Foundation have pledged $5 million in funding to support nonprofits working on relief and recovery efforts in the hardest-hit communities.

“H-E-B is committed to providing our communities with immediate and long-term relief as efforts continue in response to the destructive floods that have devastated areas across Texas,” the company said in a statement.

While the full extent of the damage continues to unfold, H-E-B is already mobilizing significant support on the ground. The company is providing meals, volunteers, products, and direct assistance in several impacted areas.

For 120 years, the Butt family has proudly called Kerrville home,” said Howard Butt III, H-E-B CEO. “Our hearts ache for the children, families, and communities facing tremendous loss throughout Texas in the wake of these floods. Our Partners have big hearts, and we will continue to support our neighbors. H-E-B and our dedicated Partners are here to help.

Of the $5 million commitment, $2 million will go to the Community Foundation of the Texas Hill Country to support the Kerr County Flood Relief Fund. This fund was established to aid flood-impacted communities such as Hunt, Ingram, Kerrville, Center Point, and Comfort by supporting rescue operations, relief programs, and long-term recovery initiatives.

In addition to this major gift, H-E-B has provided financial support to organizations like the American Red Cross, Texas Search and Rescue (TEXSAR), and the Salvation Army. The company has also distributed gift cards in affected communities and to local organizations such as the United Way of the Concho Valley in San Angelo and school districts like Ingram ISD.

Since 1905 our family has built a deep connection to Kerrville and the communities of the Hill Country where our company began,” said Stephen Butt, H-E-B President of Shareholder Relations. “Our founder Florence Butt was known for sharing food with those in need on the banks of the Guadalupe River. Her commitment to serving others inspired H-E-B’s Spirit of Giving which is a cornerstone of our company. Today we are proud to continue her legacy and stand with great resolve to help our communities as they begin to recover.

In the immediate aftermath of the flooding, H-E-B deployed its Mobile Kitchen to Ingram and distributed critical supplies, including cleaning materials and gift cards, to nearby towns such as Center Point and Hunt. Teams of Partner volunteers are working in flood-affected regions across the state — including Burnet, Georgetown, Leander, Liberty Hill, Marble Falls, and San Angelo — delivering meals, water, and essentials.

To further engage the community, H-E-B has launched a check stand donation campaign in all stores and online platforms. Shoppers can contribute directly at checkout, with all proceeds going to nonprofits supporting flood victims. Favor Delivery, a subsidiary of H-E-B, is also accepting donations on its app and has contributed to the campaign.

As part of its commitment to employee well-being, H-E-B is working closely with its Partners (employees) in flood-impacted areas, offering assistance including counseling and financial support.

“H-E-B holds compassion and strength for our fellow Texans,” the company said. “In the coming weeks and months, H-E-B will stay close to impacted communities and provide ongoing support throughout the recovery process.”
