“Gratitude for BFR,
Food for Greater Elgin has been delighted to partner with Bear Family Restaurants in providing food to people who are food insecure. Staff from the restaurants have helped with our distributions of food, packing boxes, and being a volunteer presence at special events. It is good to have friends who will be there when we need help, and the Bear Family Restaurants have worked hard to be such friends for FFGE.
Thank you!
Dr. Michael H. Montgomery, Interim Executive Director“
Community Involvement – $7,343 since June 15th!
Bear Family Restaurants serves 19 communities in Northwest Illinois. From Rockford to Mount Prospect our family is dedicated to the cities and towns that we are lucky to operate in. Since we are always welcome by the community we want to serve those that live there as well. From food shelters to building parks, and the local salvation army chapters, we encourage all of our family members to come up with new and unique ways to serve their communities.
Community Services – $6,789 since June 15th!
Bear Family Restaurants has always saluted the first responders and front line workers of our communities. Without the tireless efforts of these life saving individuals we wouldn’t be the organization that we are today. Some of the best ways we have helped service these amazing people is organizing events to meet them and engage with them, giveaways and more! We thank them for their help and their amazing efforts to keep us safe and protected.
Education and McCare Nights – $6,364 since June 15th
Education is a very important focus for Bear Family Restaurants. We have put a special emphasis on working with schools in our communities since the very beginning. Organizing school events is a particular passion of our organization and we take great pride in having such amazing relationships with schools in the areas we serve. We also support our family members with their ongoing education and encourage them to always pursue their dreams. We have participated in scholarship matching and funding and have celebrated those that work with this when they graduate!
