In front are Mr. Brown, Kay Epperson, Good Samaritan president; and Sally Glenn. In back are John Nickle, Sammie Attaway, Mattie Willis and Ms. Stewart. The food item sacks were purchased by customers at the Brookshire store to be given to the Good Samaritan. Mr. Brown said, "Rusk area citizens make it a habit to pitch in a sack or two while doing their grocery shopping."
