?? Two truckloads of fresh produce = 80,000 pounds of holiday cheer to fight hunger! ?? BGC is proud to donate over $160,000 worth of fresh produce to the East Texas Food Bank in Tyler and the Food Bank of Northwest Louisiana in Shreveport. Helping our neighbors feed their families is at the heart of what we do, and this donation is part of our 43rd annual Spirit of Christmas Food Drive! Through Dec. 17, join us in spreading the holiday spirit by donating non-perishable food items at your local Brookshire’s, Super 1 Foods, Spring Market, or FRESH by Brookshire’s. Together, we can make a difference in the more than 170 communities we proudly serve.

The 34th?annual BGC Golf Tournament broke records this year, raising nearly $1 million for charity! We are so thankful for our vendor partners who joined BGC at two events this spring to raise $921,700 for charity. This brings the total funds raised to nearly $10 million since the tournament’s inception in 1988. Proceeds from this year’s BGC Golf Tournament will benefit hundreds of nonprofit organizations within our market areas.

In the wake of the recent tornadoes and windstorms that struck our market area, BGC responded by deploying our Community Kitchen and a dedicated team of partners to two of the hardest-hit communities. Over 2,500 meals were served to those affected in Claremore, OK, and Mabank, TX. Additionally, we distributed three truckloads of free water and ice to those in need. At BGC, we are there for our partners and customers in times of need and are committed to Building Greater Communities.
