Bramlett Beans & Cornbread Community Fundraiser is Today, Thursda

It's today! The 21st annual Bramlett Beans and Cornbread Community Fundraiser hosted by former Mayor James Bramlett and the Texarkana, Texas Parks and Recreation Department.

The luncheon will be from 11 AM to 1 PM at the Southwest Community Center in Texarkana. Lunch includes beans and cornbread, drinks and dessert. A good lunch and a great cause for just $5 per person or six non-perishable food items.

All proceeds from the event will benefit the ''Empty Bowls' program, which is a volunteer effort to educate and provide food for those in need.

Along with the meal, students from Texas High will display handmade pottery as part of the Empty Bowls project. These bowls will go to the highest bidder in a silent auction during the lunch and the proceeds from the auction will be donated to help local families have a better Christmas dinner.

For more information call the Parks and Recreation Department at 903-798-3978.
