During a historically challenging time of year for collecting donations, Breckenridge Grand Vacations employees managed to help fully stock the Family & International Resource Center Food Bank in February. After the holidays came to a close, BGV placed large food donation bins at all of its offices, including the Grand Lodge on Peak 7, Grand Timber Lodge, Gold Point Resort, Breck Inn, Main Street Sales Center and Connect Breck building on Airport Road. Every collection bin was overflowing with food by the end of the month, and staff also collected an abundance of coats to help Summit County locals in need. Shae Loomis of the BGV Owner Relations department assisted in organizing the BGV Food Drive with help from fellow employees Nick Borovich, Nadia Williamson, Amanda Testwuide and countless other BGV personnel. “Many thanks to the BGV employees for their support of the recent Food Drive. Gaston Feuereisen and his staff at FIRC were so excited. The donation bins were brimming full. My colleagues are truly the best, most giving people. Their generosity continues to blow me away,” Loomis said. Earlier this month, donations from BGV also helped make the opening of Breckenridge’s new FIRC office possible. The addition of this location enables FIRC to offer more accessible services to the community, including assistance with food, child care, medical coverage, housing and family support programs.
