Donations to Ten Brownsville Non-profits Aid Essential Community Services and Support Programs
Brownsville, TX – December 22, 2025 – OmniTRAX, the transportation affiliate of The Broe Group, and its affiliate railroad, Brownsville & Rio Grande International Railway, LLC (BRG), announced an aggregate contribution of $75,000 to ten Brownsville non-profit organizations. As part of OmniTRAX’s network-wide Good Neighbor Program, 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.
“For four decades, BRG has grown with the community, and we are proud to call Brownsville our home. The OmniTRAX Good Neighbor Program supports local partners like this year’s recipients that selflessly serve our fellow neighbors. BRG is inspired by the tremendous work that they do each day, and we know that these contributions will help them continue to strengthen our community,” said BRG President Shariff Gonnella.
BRG operates 45 miles of rail at the Port of Brownsville, keeping the supply lines moving for steel, agricultural products, fuel products, and other commodities. The BRG commenced operations in 1984 when the Brownsville Navigation District (BND) reclaimed Port railroad operations from the Missouri Pacific Railroad.
The BRG donations are part of OmniTRAX’s network-wide community outreach that annually provides funding for meals and essential services that reach more than one million of our neighbors in need.
