Public volunteer registration will go live on December 2.
This year, HEB continues their in-person Feast of Sharing event at the Henry B. Gonzalez Convention Center, part of their year-round work to help prevent hunger. The free holiday feast will take place in Exhibit Halls 3 & 4 and will be filled with food, music and good cheer, and will bring together family, friends, and neighbors.
Volunteers are the key to bringing the magic to this wonderful day! The Volunteer Center at United Way and the Feast of Sharing Leadership Committee work hard to ensure the right number of volunteers are in the right place at the right time, and to make your experience gratifying and memorable.
Volunteer Information
