H-E-B donates $50,000

Posted: 7 October 2024

H-E-B recently donated $50,000 to The Library Foundation. And the gift extends to every one of the 24 branches of the Austin Public Library system.

Each will receive $1000 in cash and $1000 in H-E-B gift cards which may be used in any way the branches see fit. The additional funds are to be used at The Library Foundation’s discretion.

The check was presented to The Library Foundation in September.

H-E-B has long been a sponsor of Stories, The Library Foundation’s annual fundraiser.

Thank you H-E-B for your continued generosity!
