In the wake of Wednesday night's explosion at a fertilizer plant in West, H-E-B announced Friday that it would support evacuees and emergency first responders by sending its mobile kitchen to the area.
H-E-B's disaster relief team will bring water and ice and will serve three hot meals per day to those affected by the disaster, first responders, emergency management staff, and volunteers who are supporting the recovery effort.

Breakfast will be served from 8 to 10 a.m., lunch from noon to 2 p.m., and dinner from 5 to 7 p.m. until the meals are no longer needed as a supplement.
The explosion leveled part of the town, leaving several dead and dozens injured.
Additionally, H-E-B has launched a disaster relief donation campaign for stores statewide to send relief through the Red Cross to the displaced families in West.
The company kicked off the campaign with a $50,000 donation to the Red Cross.
Customers will have the opportunity to add a donation of $1, $3 or $5 to their total grocery bills at registers. One hundred percent of the donations will go to the American Red Cross and its emergency relief efforts in West.
