ODESSA, Texas — H-E-B served free breakfast and lunch to first responders in Midland and Odessa on Monday. H-E-B plans to do it again on Tuesday.
H-E-B is among multiple organizations giving law enforcement officers free food as a way of saying thank you for their response to a mass shooting Saturday in Odessa.
H-E-B’s disaster relief team served breakfast at the University of Texas of the Permian Basin for hundreds officers.
“We’re not here for the thanks,” said H-E-B Unit Director Randy Versteeg. “We’re here because it’s the right thing to do and H-E-B gives back to the community. Everyone takes care of us and it’s just our way of giving back to the community.”
Breakfast starts Tuesday at 8:00 a.m.
Other Midland/Odessa area businesses have been providing water and snacks to first responders who were working at multiple crime scenes.
