Sponsor profile: H-E-B

This month, we start a periodic series of features on the sponsors that help Impact San Antonio fund our operating expenses. H-E-B was a title sponsor for Grant Award Night in 2019 and has been an annual sponsor since 2020, currently at the Platinum level.

We spoke with Julie Bedingfield, public affairs manager for H-E-B, about the company’s role as an Impact SA sponsor and its years of philanthropy in the San Antonio community.

Tell us about H-E-B’s sponsorship of Impact San Antonio.

While we’ve only officially supported Impact San Antonio for a few years, countless H-E-B partners (employees) have been involved in your organization, and we support many of the same nonprofits that benefit from the work of Impact SA.

Why did H-E-B become a sponsor of Impact SA?

H-E-B believes firmly in Texans helping Texans, and one doesn’t need to look any further than Impact SA to see the collective power of women in San Antonio supporting one another and the communities we serve.

Tell us about H-E-B’s history of philanthropy in our community.

Over 115 years ago, we opened our doors to help make the lives of hard-working Texans better. We were a family business back then. We remain a family business today with a passion and commitment to help every community we serve. Today, we support more than 300 nonprofit organizations across Texas. From fighting hunger and providing disaster relief to honoring Texas educators and our nation’s military, we’re firm believers in Texans helping Texans. Because like us, our partners and customers are from here. And that’s why we’re helping here.
