A heartfelt thank you to H-E-B for their generous $500 gift card donation in support of the Little York Fire Department's “Fruit for Firefighters” initiative.
The idea originated from our Accounts Payable Coordinator, Delia DaSilva, who recognized the importance of providing our firefighters with healthy, nutritious snack options during the demanding summer months. Her vision was simple: ensure our crews have access to fresh fruit that not only serves as a healthy snack but also helps fuel them while serving our community.
Today, Mrs. DaSilva joined Engine 82 to visit H-E-B and select a variety of fresh produce for our fire stations. During their visit, they had the opportunity to personally thank the store's leadership team for their support of this program.
Fire Chief Richardson shared, *"A great idea can come from anyone at any level. We are a family, and everyone brings value to this department. Delia brought forward a suggestion, and we are incredibly grateful for H-E-B's support in helping turn that idea into reality."*
Thank you, H-E-B, for investing in the health and well-being of our firefighters and for being a valued community partner.
