For most customers, Chick-fil-A Rewards points are a way to score free meals, but for Jay and Judy Brissey, they have become a tool to give back. This Thanksgiving, the Greenwood couple turned their love for the fast food chain into an act of generosity that fed dozens in their community. Over the past eight years, the Brisseys have earned more than 202,000 Chick-Fil-A Rewards points. “Chick-fil-A has kind of become our second home, I guess, because we eat Chick-fil-A like every day,” Jay said. “I usually go to Chick-fil-A once or twice a day,” Judy added. The couple used half of their rewards points this Thanksgiving to provide lunch to residents of the Burton Center, a facility that serves people with disabilities and special needs. “To be honest, for a lot of these people, we are their families,” said Meyata Gould, assistant director of day programs at the Burton Center. Judy, an educator, was personally touched by the experience. “As a ’96 teacher, I had some of them as my students and I reconnected with some of them. I got a little emotional because it brought back a lot of good memories,” she said. Jay also thought about how meaningful the gesture was. “Some of them may not be allowed to go to Chick-fil-A at all. Maybe they just see it in advertising or something,” he said. With 101,000 points left, the Brisseys plan to deliver food to the Connie Maxwell Children’s Home next week, December 5th. “I don’t do this for the recognition – the only one I want to get recognition from is God,” said Judy. “I want Him to get the credit for this, not me.” After serving so many guests, the couple ended the day back at Chick-fil-A, ready to earn more points for future acts of kindness.

GREENWOOD, S.C. –

For most customers, Chick-fil-A Rewards points are a way to score free meals, but for Jay and Judy Brissey, they have become a tool to give back.

This Thanksgiving, the Greenwood couple turned their love for the fast food chain into an act of generosity that fed dozens in their community. Over the past eight years, the Brisseys have earned more than 202,000 Chick-Fil-A Rewards points.

“Chick-fil-A has kind of become our second home, I guess, because we eat Chick-fil-A like every day,” Jay said. “I usually go to Chick-fil-A once or twice a day,” Judy added.

The couple used half of their rewards points this Thanksgiving to provide lunch to residents of the Burton Center, a facility that serves people with disabilities and special needs.

“To be honest, for a lot of these people, we are their families,” said Meyata Gould, assistant director of day programs at the Burton Center.

Judy, an educator, was personally touched by the experience. “As a ’96 teacher, I had some of them as my students and I reconnected with some of them. I got a little emotional because it brought back a lot of good memories,” she said.

Jay also thought about how meaningful the gesture was. “Some of them may not be allowed to go to Chick-fil-A at all. Maybe they just see it in advertising or something,” he said.

With 101,000 points remaining, the Brisseys plan to deliver groceries to the Connie Maxwell Children’s Home next week, December 5th.

“I don’t do this for the recognition – the only one I want to acknowledge is God,” Judy said. “I want Him to get the credit for this, not me.”

After serving so many guests, the couple ended the day back at Chick-fil-A, ready to earn more points for future acts of kindness.
