Meals on Wheels of Odessa on Friday announced a partnership with H-E-B to provide sauces for every client of Meals on Wheels of Odessa.
The donation will be celebrated at 10 a.m. Wednesday at Meals on Wheels of Odessa, 1314 E. Fifth St.
“As I was looking over the menus of our lunch delivery, it struck me that on days where we serve hamburgers or hot dogs, our clients might not have access to basic condiments,” Craig Stoker, executive director for Meals on Wheels of Odessa, said in a news release. “I immediately thought of H-E-B as someone who would have an interest in the ‘Sauces for Seniors’ project. What started as an idea to provide ketchup, mustard, and mayonnaise, turned into this amazing gift for our clients from the great folks at H-E-B.”
“H-E-B is proud to support Meals on Wheels of Odessa and its Sauce for Seniors event because we believe in their work to ensure that no senior is left hungry,” Danny Flores, senior manager of Public Affairs, said in the release. “Hunger relief has always been an important part of what we do here at H-E-B, and we hope the delivery of these condiments gives seniors a little extra to enjoy their daily meals.”
H-E-B will be donating 500 bottles each of ketchup, mustard, mayonnaise, BBQ sauce, honey, pancake syrup, and salt & pepper shakers. The gift will be delivered to each Meals on Wheels of Odessa client. H-E-B will also donate time to help the regular volunteers at Meals on Wheels of Odessa get all the products delivered.
