Tyler, Texas-based Brookshire Grocery Co. has coordinated the collection and donation of food over the last three weeks from customers and vendors, totaling over $58,000. The food was donated to the East Texas Food Bank, providing aid to community members in need during the COVID-19 pandemic.
The collection was made possible through “Fill the Big Grocery Cart” events at three BGC stores and the partnership with local produce vendors. During the events, customers were encouraged to donate non-perishable food items for the East Texas Food Bank with the goal to completely fill the company’s 13-foot tall motorized grocery cart.
