Volunteers from Laughlin Air Force Base and the local community fed more than 2,000 people during the H-E-B Feast of Sharing at the Del Rio Civic Center in Del Rio, Texas, Nov. 14, 2015.

More than 500 volunteers from Laughlin and the community distributed approximately 3,000 pounds of turkey, 2,500 pounds of cornbread dressing, 750 pumpkin pies, 380 gallons of mashed potatoes, 140 gallons of turkey gravy and 95 gallons of cranberry sauce.

This was the 23rd annual H-E-B Feast of Sharing and is a culmination of a year‑round commitment H‑E‑B makes to fighting hunger.

The meal was free to the public and the event included music, arts and crafts, and childrens’ activities.
