We work across from a former brewery and meet in conference rooms named Keg, Case and Pint. Little wonder that we host a regular happy hour. To make our Thirsty Thursdays, we mix 40+ employees with a seasonal theme and salt the rim with gritos. Mandatory fun? Bottoms up!
San Antonio and Houston have been good to us. To give back, we created KGBCares. It’s the agency’s feel-good department. We raise money for the United Way, partner with SAWORKS to connect high schoolers to job opportunities, and work with the Food Bank to provide for those in need. We also give every employee a couple of paid hours each month so they can contribute their time: Talent to the nonprofits they care about. When we advocate for positive consequences in our communities, we walk the talk.
It’s in our nature to be curious. So, it’s only natural that we regularly check in with local movers and shakers to get the scoop on what’s shaping the city. We share it every month on thePoint.
For issues that impact our great state, we host KGBriefings. It’s an opportunity for stakeholders in our community to listen to and ask questions of those making Texas policy. We like to think of it as two-way conversation two-step.
Shelby is one lucky dog. This Collie mix was homeless when her owner passed away. We fostered her at the agency during the day, and an employee would take her home at night. Now, they’re inseparable. Partnering with local rescue shelters isn’t something we do; it’s something we love. We bring our furry pals in on Fridays, but it’s not unusual to hear one barking on our end of a conference call any day of the week.
