TEXAS HISTORY MINUTE

LEDC Update

It’s a new day in Northeast Texas with new opportunities to serve our community. This Saturday, August 8th we’re having our second Farms to Families food drive courtesy of the USDA and our local Fairview Reunion Corporation. The drive will take place at the old Millstep building located on S. Main St. right next to our local public library and will start at approximately 8:00 a.m. We will be lining up cars and distributing fresh food in the same manner we did at the previous drive, so come out and get some delicious produce.
