Honoring a Legacy of Community Partnership

In a heartfelt gesture that speaks to the very soul of Houston’s community spirit, H-E-B has generously contributed $100,000 to the SHAPE Community Center’s Restoration Campaign. This monumental gift underscores H-E-B’s continued dedication to uplifting neighborhoods and supporting organizations that have long stood as pillars of education, empowerment, and equality.

For over four decades, the SHAPE Community Center has served as a beacon of cultural pride and progress, nurturing generations of leaders through its After-School Education and Empowerment Programs. The Center’s mission—rooted in service, culture, and growth—aligns seamlessly with H-E-B’s longstanding tradition of investing in communities that shape the future of Texas.

Investing in the Next Generation

H-E-B’s contribution will provide critical support to expand SHAPE’s educational and creative programs, ensuring Houston’s youth have access to safe, nurturing spaces where they can learn, lead, and excel. From tutoring and academic enrichment to creative expression and leadership workshops, the donation will directly impact hundreds of children and families across the city.

“It is our sincere hope that our support will help to make your After-School Education and Empowerment Program a success,” an H-E-B spokesperson shared. “Our commitment has always been to strengthen families and neighborhoods—because when our youth thrive, Houston thrives.”

A Shared Vision for Restoration and Empowerment

Leaders at the SHAPE Community Center expressed profound gratitude for the partnership, noting that H-E-B’s generosity extends beyond financial support—it reinforces a shared belief in restoration, empowerment, and sustainable community development.

“This gift reaffirms what we’ve always believed: that when businesses and communities stand together, transformation follows,” said a SHAPE representative. “H-E-B’s partnership allows us to continue our mission of creating environments where children and families not only dream but achieve.”

The donation will help restore key facilities and expand after-school programs that serve as lifelines for working families. These programs teach resilience, discipline, and self-confidence—values that echo SHAPE’s motto: Restoring. Empowering. Uplifting.

Building a Stronger, Brighter Houston

This collaboration is a reminder that Houston’s greatness lies in its unity. H-E-B, already known for its consistent investment in education, disaster relief, and food security, continues to set the standard for corporate citizenship in Texas.

“Partnerships like this one with SHAPE Community Center are at the heart of what makes Houston so special,” said Francis Page, Jr., Publisher of Houston Style Magazine. “H-E-B’s unwavering support of education and empowerment ensures that our next generation has the tools to lead with purpose and pride.”
