Backpack Food for Kids Program completes Successful Year

Backpack Food for Kids Program completes Successful Year

Due to concern for the children of the Eastland community, the” Backpack Food for Kids” program has completed another successful year through Siebert Elementary School. Thirty children were assisted with extra food on weekends and holidays. Teachers identify children who are experiencing food insecurity (lack of food) and parents of these children complete paperwork to enroll children into the program. The program is funded by local individuals, businesses, and churches. From your heart to their need. No government assistance is provided. The board is very appreciative of all who have donated. This is a nationwide program. The Eastland program was started in 2009 by Wendy Porter. She deserves a vote of thanks for her drive to establish this local program that has helped so many children over the years. Finances are always of concern to those of us who administer this program. 06/01/2023 12:00 AM

Bryans to become NAPA Auto Parts

The family at Bryans has made the decision to become NAPA Auto Parts beginning Thursday June 1st. This decision comes after months of meetings and very careful consideration from our entire family and team of employees. It’s no secret that we’ve had some difficult hurdles the last couple of years with our Parts Plus supplier selling out, and we know that this transition will have its share of problems too - but we are excited and very confident that this will be one of the best things we’ve ever done for our customers. 06/01/2023 12:00 AM
