PROCLAMATION
WHEREAS, the City of Georgetown is pleased to honor H-E-B for being a part of the Texas
communities since 1905 and the Georgetown community has been a part of that for 55 years; and
WHEREAS, H-E-B employs nearly 1,000 responsible Partners who earn customer and
community trust and respect through their individual and collective actions every day at the two
Georgetown stores and H-E-B is a role model for ethics in business and corporate citizenship; and
WHEREAS, H-E-B has long practiced the idea that a grocer’s role in a community goes well
beyond supplying food; in this spirit, the company contributes more than five percent of its pretax
earnings to our local charitable organizations that are at the heart of H-E-B’s charitable giving within
hunger relief, education, health, the environment and diversity; and
WHEREAS, H-E-B contributes to the ongoing economic development of the Georgetown
community by providing beneficial sales tax revenue, competitive employee wages and benefits, and a
superior shopping experience.
NOW, THEREFORE, I, JOSH SCHROEDER, MAYOR OF THE CITY OF GEORGETOWN, TEXAS
do hereby congratulate H-E-B on June 26, 2021 for its
55th ANNIVERSARY
and call upon the residents of Georgetown, Texas to join me in extending sincere congratulations
and gratitude to H-E-B for continued commitment to this community and communities throughout
the State of Texas.
