Everyone needs to eat. We all know this, but the panic buying has made it far more difficult to purchase certain foods everywhere, even here in Freestone County.

HEB in both Mexia and Corsicana require you to wait in a line outside as they are limiting people inside the store.
You may also sign up for curbside delivery at the Corsicana HEB but be aware that you need to plan this to be days in advance and not all items are guaranteed during this time.
The Walmarts in Corsicana and Mexia are also both still open, but that does not mean they have a full stock of the most sought-after items.
