B&G raises funds for youth organizations

Taco Bell franchisee group B&G Food, based in Morgan City, with restaurants across Louisiana, Texas and Mississippi, has raised over $190,000 for Junior Achievement of North Louisiana, Salvation Army Boys & Girls Club of Texas, and Boys & Girls Club of: Abilene, Greater Baton Rouge, Gulf Coast, Greater Houston, Acadiana, Northeast and Southeast Louisiana.
This donation effort was part of Taco Bell’s nationwide Helping Hand fundraiser. From March 18-31, customers at Taco Bell locations across the country were given the option to donate $1 at check-out to support several charitable organizations.
During the two-week national fundraiser, company-owned Taco Bell locations raised more than $40,000 for YouthBuild USA, a global nonprofit championing opportunity youth — young adults between the ages of 16 and 24 who are neither in school nor employed — as they earn the knowledge, training and opportunities that lead to long-term professional and personal success.
