Brookshire Grocery Company Donates Produce to the East Texas Food Bank
In partnership with the company’s vendor suppliers, Brookshire Grocery Co. is donating more than $80,000 worth of fresh produce to the East Texas Food Bank.
On Nov. 19, 2024, the food bank will receive 40,000 pounds of fresh produce to help feed those in need this holiday season. A ceremony will be held in Tyler at the East Texas Food Bank to celebrate the donation, which will help provide hunger relief in our local communities.
This donation is an extension of BGC’s 43rd annual Spirit of Christmas Food Drive program. Through Dec.17, all Brookshire’s, Super 1 Foods, Spring Market and FRESH by Brookshire’s stores are collecting donations of non-perishable food items to be donated to local service organizations and food pantries for distribution. Customers may also donate monetary donations using scan coupons at checkout. This annual food drive provides nearly half a million pounds of food to those in need throughout the company’s market areas.
BGC remains committed to supporting and making a difference in the more than 165 communities it serves. We deeply value our neighbors, and together, we can unite to fight hunger in our communities this holiday season.
