Spirit of Christmas Food Drive Begins

TYLER – The 35th annual Brookshire’s Spirit of Christmas Food Drive is underway as of today. It began in Tyler in 1982 with the Rose City Kiwanis Club. It has now grown to include Brookshire’s, Super 1 Foods and FRESH by Brookshire’s stores throughout Texas, Louisiana and Arkansas. Last year was the most successful food drive to date. Around 500,000 pounds of food was collected and donated to local service organizations and food pantries. You can participate by donating pre-assembled “grab bags” for $5 or scan coupons for $1 or $5 that will be used to purchase additional food items. The drive runs through December 21st.
