Eleven Brownsville Non-profits Recognized for Their Essential Community Services and Programs

BROWNSVILLE, Texas, Dec. 20, 2022 /PRNewswire/ — OmniTRAX, the transportation affiliate of The Broe Group, and its affiliate railroad, Brownsville & Rio Grande International Railway, LLC (BRG), announced the contribution of $100,000 to eleven Brownsville non-profit organizations. As part of OmniTRAX’s annual commitment to local communities, OmniTRAX and BRG collaborated with the Port of Brownsville to identify a broad collection of local nonprofit recipients that provide critical resources for the people of Brownsville.

“OmniTRAX is committed to the communities we serve, and we are proud to support the meaningful work happening each day within the Brownsville community,” said OmniTRAX President and COO Sergio Sabatini. “Part of being a good neighbor is working together and lending a helping hand. These donations expand the reach and impact of dedicated local organizations that are doing an exceptional job of serving our Brownsville neighbors.”

BRG operates 45 miles of rail at the Port of Brownsville, keeping the supply lines moving for steel, agricultural products, food products, and commodities. The BRG commenced operations in 1984 when the Brownsville Navigation District (BND) reclaimed Port railroad operations from the Missouri Pacific Railroad.

“I am thrilled to see businesses at the Port so committed to giving back to Brownsville. Every year, the Brownsville Rio Grande Railway and OmniTRAX generously reinvest in the quality of life for our communities,” said Port of Brownsville Commission Chairman Steve Guerra. “The funds for these non-profit organizations will support meaningful programs and enable important services throughout the region.”

The BRG donations are part of OmniTRAX’s network-wide community outreach that provides one million annual meals and financial support for essential services that reach more than one million people nationwide.
