Brown Bag of Hope

Brown Bag of Hope

What is a Brown Bag of Hope?

Many families in every community are faced with trials that steal their hope, and they don't know where to turn for help. Years ago, Brookshire Brothers set out to answer the question, "What can we do to help?"
 
When originally faced with that question, Brookshire Brothers turned to Lufkin ISD counselors to understand some of the community's needs that weren't being met. By leveraging community programs the company already had in place, Brookshire Brothers created the companywide initiative Brown Bag of Hope. 
 
For just $10, you can purchase a Brown Bag of Hope containing food, school supplies, or toiletries for families in need. Our stores then redistribute the bags to local schools, nonprofits, veterans groups, food pantries, and more within your community. 
 
Together, we have a chance to be the helping hands of our cities, offering support to all who need it. It's when we stop moving and start doing that hope is given a chance.
