The Genesis Group

This past weekend, the extended Genesis family had an absolute blast preparing food boxes and stuffing hundreds of bags of rice and beans at the East Texas Food Bank. All told, 5,651 senior meals were packed, which will be distributed throughout East Texas.

Unfortunately, hunger affects people of all ages, including many seniors living on fixed incomes. People right here in our backyard. The East Texas Food Bank helps fill the gaps, providing nutritious meals and a little extra peace of mind.

The East Texas Food Bank serves 26 counties and partners with more than 200 local organizations to help provide meals to children, families, and seniors facing food insecurity. Their reach is incredible, but their mission is simple: making sure our neighbors have food on the table.

But, they cannot fulfill this mission without YOU! Learn how you can help: https://www.easttexasfoodbank.org

🌟 Congratulations, Tanner Spurlock, Executive Director of Technical Operations! 🌟

We are excited to announce that Tanner Spurlock is taking on expanded responsibilities at Genesis as our Executive Director of Technical Operations.

In this role, Tanner will lead our combined Support organization across LMR, Genesis eBONDS, IT, and Order Fulfillment. This realignment creates clearer leadership, stronger support, and a more scalable structure as Genesis continues to grow.

Tanner has earned tremendous trust through his strong work ethic, steady leadership, technical expertise, and genuine care for the people around him. He is also driven by an insatiable appetite for learning and continuous improvement. His positive attitude, uplifting spirit, and hunger for growth make him exceptionally well-suited for this expanded responsibility.

We are also incredibly grateful for our outstanding in-house Support Team. Every day, they answer calls, solve complex problems, travel on-site, train customers, stage equipment, support internal systems, and represent the Genesis name with excellence in every customer interaction.

These are exciting times at Genesis, and we look forward to what lies ahead under Tanner’s leadership!

Genesis family recipe for a blue ribbon start to the workday:

5 boxes of donuts
72 gallons of coffee
1 amazing team
1 group of extra sweet friends from The Fostering Collective
1 cup of love

We just can’t say enough good things about our dear friends at the Fostering Collective. They are the picture of the hands and feet of Christ. Their mission is to ensure that vulnerable children and overwhelmed families are not left to carry impossible burdens alone. They bring together ordinary people, churches, organizations, and communities to become a consistent, compassionate presence in the middle of hard stories.

🍩 But when they bring us donuts…that puts them on a whole new level of awesome! 😄

Thank you for your friendship, for your heart, and for making our day great!
