Supporting Our Hometown, The Community We Love

Giving back is an integral part of who we are.
Corpus Christi has been our cherished hometown for eight decades, and in that time, it has been incredibly good to our family. In gratitude, we are committed to giving back to the community that has supported us.
Our contributions focus on supporting ministries, charities, and local churches, with a particular emphasis on helping children and families in need. Over the years, we have made significant donations to causes that resonate with our values. For instance, we donated $250,000 to the Salvation Army to build a wing of apartments for homeless mothers with children, in the new Center for Hope . We additionally had the opportunity to provide a needed $100,000 to the Food Bank of the Coastal Bend to help construct the Braselton Family Kitchen. And, our support extended to the New Life Refuge to build “The Braselton Home”, the first shelter in our area specifically built for children rescued from Human Trafficking, and we have been blessed to annually provide essential back-to-school supplies for West Oso kids. These efforts reflect our dedication to addressing the needs of those in our community who need help the most.
