Giving Thanksgiving
Texas-based grocery chain H-E-B usually
spends November preparing for the city of
Houston’s annual Thanksgiving parade. But
this year—with tens of thousands of Texans
fighting COVID-19 infections and millions
of Americans still out of work—that parade
was canceled. Instead, the city, the Houston
Food Bank and the grocery company are
combining their resources to orchestrate
a massive food-distribution event. H-E-B
employees, pictured Nov. 17, are packaging
boxes full of Thanksgiving necessities in
preparation for high demand.
