Brookshire Brothers is currently participating in the Brown Bags of Hope program.
This program ties directly to who they are as ‘a community grocer’ and an employee owned company.  Customers purchase the bags and store teams determine how to best distribute them. Whether it’s to food pantries, school counselors, the police or sheriff’s department – stores make sure they get them to the organizations that can best distribute them where they will do the most good.
There are toiletry bags, school supply bags, meal bags and Holiday bags.  All contain non-perishable items that are part of Brookshire Brothers’ “OWN” or private label offerings.  As a company, they are known to match their customers’ generosity by donating additional bags to address a specific or urgent need in a community.
In stores that have delis, Brookshire Brothers also have a program called HELP A NEIGHBOR IN NEED.  This gives organizations and individuals an opportunity to purchase a complete Holiday dinner for those who may go without. These are often distributed through churches and nonprofits during the holiday season.
