Nutritious food is 🔑 for a healthy, hunger-free future. But too many East Texas families are up against serious health barriers, including high obesity rates.

Your support helps ensure that 50% of the food we distribute includes lean proteins, fruits and vegetables, giving families the nourishment they need to live healthier lives.

Help food banks and food pantries by rounding up or making a donation at checkout during Brookshire's Compassion in Action food drive through Tuesday, June 23rd.

Join us in turning grocery runs into acts of kindness. Round up at checkout to help feed the hungry. ❤️

At Checkout, if you want to give, you will be asked to donate by either rounding up your purchase or adding $1, $5, or $10 -- or simply skip. Every penny donated will go directly to the local food pantry to purchase the items most needed.
