Our Company believes in the spirit of giving and takes that responsibility very seriously. We’re able to donate because of the loyalty of our great customers. Shoppers frequent our retail stores for their groceries, gasoline and pharmaceutical needs and we greatly appreciate their loyalty to us. We also celebrate family and community and that includes being a part of our communities located in eastern Texas and western Louisiana. We have been giving back to our communities for many years and we are proud of that tradition.

Here’s How Our Donation Process Works:

Each of Brookshire Brothers retail stores maintains a budget for merchandise donations. The store director will review the completed donation request form and determine if the request will be approved. Approved requests for in-store donations are up to $100 in gift cards and recipients are limited to one donation per year. If the request exceeds the store's donation budget or requires special consideration, the form will be forwarded to the corporate office for processing and formal submission to the company’s donation committee. This committee meets monthly to consider requests so all donation requests must be submitted 45 days prior for proper review and processing. In any case, the person making the request will be notified whether or not the request has been approved. Donations of cash, merchandise or Brookshire Brothers gift cards will only be considered for non-profit organizations. Due to the large number of requests we receive, Brookshire Brothers has established the following guidelines for donation requests: All organizations must have a current 501(C)(3) status and include federal tax ID number. All letters must be on official organization letterhead. Computer generated flyers, e-mail and invitations are not formal letters and therefore are not considered proper request procedures for a donation, but may be attached to the donation form. The donation form must contain the date of the event, organization’s tax ID number, address and phone number, the contact person’s name, driver’s license number, email address, address and phone number, the type of fundraiser and in what capacity will the proceeds be utilized. Requests must be received at least forty-five (45) days prior to the event. We do not donate through a second or third party request. Donations are given directly to the benefiting organization. Only one request from an organization or school can be submitted each calendar year. Brookshire Brothers evaluates each request in the context of Brookshire Brothers' focus areas, company priorities, geographic relevance available budget and eligible activities/restrictions. All incomplete request forms will be returned to the originating store or organization and will be re-scheduled for the next donation review meeting. Any donation from Brookshire Brothers is a one-time donation and the organization or charity receiving the donation should never place the donation amount in future budget development.
