BJ's Wholesale Club Supports Grand Prairie United Charities

Dallas, TX, June 25, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- BJ's Wholesale Club is deepening its investment in the Dallas-Fort Worth community through a comprehensive partnership with the North Texas Food Bank (NTFB). With a total FY26 commitment of more than $182,000, BJ's is supporting both immediate hunger‑relief needs and long‑term capacity building to ensure families across North Texas have consistent access to nutritious food.

BJ's investment will help provide more than 345,000 meals for children, families, and seniors, while also strengthening the local feeding network in communities surrounding new BJ's locations, including Grand Prairie, Waxahachie, and Forney.

"BJ's has a long-standing commitment to nourishing the communities where we live and work, and we are proud to continue our journey in the Dallas-Fort Worth area by supporting the North Texas Food Bank and its partners," said Kirk Saville, Head of Corporate Communications, BJ's Wholesale Club. "As we grow our footprint, we're growing our community impact—taking care of the families who depend on us and helping ensure our neighbors have reliable access to nutritious food."

BJ's FY26 support includes:

• $98,700 to NTFB's Emergency Aid Grant Program, providing flexible, rapid response funding to partner agencies facing unexpected challenges. This includes support for Waxahachie C.A.R.E. Services as they rebuild capacity and stabilize operations.

• $25,000 to Feeding Families, helping NTFB expand programming to meet at least 80% of the need in ZIP codes closest to BJ's store locations.

• $25,000 as a matching sponsor for NTFB's Volunteer‑A‑Thon on North Texas Giving Day, inspiring community participation and unlocking an additional 75,000 meals.

• $33,400 to support NTFB's Hope for Tomorrow Grant Program, including recognition of the grant awarded to the Flanagan Foundation in Grand Prairie.

In addition, BJ's has made direct capacity‑building investments to NTFB partner agencies, including $40,000 to Grand Prairie United Charities, $40,000 to Waxahachie C.A.R.E. Services, and $25,000 to the Forney Food Pantry.

As part of the partnership, BJ's clubs across North Texas will participate in NTFB's food rescue program, a coordinated effort that captures high‑quality surplus food before it goes to waste. Each day, BJ's team members identify items such as produce, meat, dairy, and bakery goods for donation. These items are then picked up by NTFB partner agencies or transported through NTFB's logistics network, ensuring the food reaches local pantries quickly and safely. This program reduces food waste while increasing access to fresh, nutritious options for neighbors experiencing food insecurity.
