I get more gas points at Kroger but I really love the HEB near my house. The HEB family is doing the right thing here

Grocery retailer H-E-B and the Butt Family have committed $10 million to the Uvalde school district to build a new school to replace Robb Elementary, the site of the mass shooting that killed 19 children and two teachers last month.

The donations were made to the Uvalde Consolidated Independent School District’s new nonprofit arm, the Uvalde CISD Moving Forward Foundation, which is seeking donations to make the district’s schools more secure, help build the new school and build a memorial park at the Robb location.

“It’ll definitely be part of the healing process,” Hal Harrell, Uvalde CISD superintendent, said of the donation.

2. A very community-spirited gesture.

I would want to be sure to what extent the Butt Family makes political contributions to pro-gun state legislators though.

Just so I know how vigorously to applaud them for the good deed they're doing here.

3. This is what I like to see

We can all rag about it being a tax deduction.. do they give to the opposition but this is going
To do much better things for this district. I hope there’s no red tape n the governor finds a way to muck things up. Also.. great PR for a popular food chain doesn’t hurt.
