H-E-B, the beloved Texas grocery chain, is no exception. Yesterday the company announced it will be donating $500,000 to those affected by the shooting. The company is also giving people the option to donate via its website or through its delivery app. The company's nonprofit arm, the Spirit of Giving Fund, will then disburse those donations.
