AUSTIN, Texas — Austin FC spread some holiday cheer at an H-E-B in North Austin on Tuesday.
Leaders from the club surprised H-E-B customers at North Lamar Boulevard and Rundberg Lane with free groceries!
Coach Josh Wolff said the act was about giving back to fans and the community that's given the team so much.
"The holidays are a crazy time. Time is difficult, money is difficult, so anything we can do to give back is the least we can do," Wolff said.
This is the fourth year Austin FC has partnered with H-E-B for this event. In that time, Wolff said the team has helped buy $50,000 worth of groceries for customers.
The “Surprise and Delight” event is part of Austin FC's Season of Giving, presented by H-E-B. Last week, the club helped package more than 2,500 Thanksgiving meals for families in need.
Wolff, Austin FC President Andy Loughnane and Sporting Director Rodolfo Borrell participated at the H-E-B store located at 9414 N. Lamar Blvd.
