The numbers picked up a little for the meals today, as sixteen Seniors received the free meals which were delivered from Groesbeck to Thornton being received by Janice Bilbrey, site manager. Her trusty helper Donna Lloyd was there, as usual, to help her with final preparations of the food. Thanks goes to Sonic Drive-in in Groesbeck for the Styrofoam cups, straws and lids for the tea and to Brookshires for the grocery bags to bag the food in. Donations of any kind are always appreciated.
