CORPUS CHRISTI, Texas — HEB hosted a group baby shower for 30 military moms Thursday morning at the Holiday Inn in downtown Corpus Christi.
The attendees included both military spouses and active-duty service members. The event is part of the company's Operation Appreciation program, which honors the service and sacrifice of military families.
"We really are just excited to celebrate them. They make sacrifices for us every day, serving in our military and protecting our home base here, and all of us are very, very grateful that they put themselves first by providing a safety net with all of us at home," said Beth Dattomo with HEB.
I spoke with a Brooke Eclarin, a military mom expecting her third child, who said the event gave her a sense of community.
"We all have so much in common. Like sometimes it's hard to relate to other people, especially as a mom, but it's just so great to get together and obviously get all this stuff. It's just so crazy," Eclarin said.
