HEB prides themselves to their commitment to education and they also put their money where their mouth is. HEB has been a proud sponsor for the Sistas in Business, Inc. Read & Lead program since 2009 and continues to commit to investing in communities and programs that are committed to improving education in the San Antonio communities and surrounding cities and counties. Through their efforts to improve education, HEB has a program that provides books to students that may not otherwise ever have books in their homes. HEB donated 1,000 books to Sistas in Business, Inc and all the books were donated to elementary students at Cameron Elementary for their summer reading program. Students were allowed to pick the books that they wanted at an awards ceremony in May, 2012. The rest of the books have been prominently displayed in all of the classrooms through Cameron Elemenatry School to help encourage and promote the importance of reading to the students.

James Harris, Director of Supplier Diversity at HEB says that education and literacy is a top priority for him and he has been very instrumental in ensuring that the students at Cameron Elementary School have the tools that need to become successful readers and leaders. Early on in the program, Harris suggested that we take the kids out in the community to read to senior citizens, businesses, HEB stores, the public library and more...SIB has followed his lead...and the students are thriving because of the program.
