Submitted by Casscounty1 on
The Marathon for the Hungry 7th Annual Food Drive was held Nov. 22 to benefit Rebecca’s Pantry, a 501(c)3 non-profit food ministry located at Westside Baptist Church in Atlanta. This year’s drive was sponsored by KPYN radio.
Three pick-ups and a church van were filled with almost 3,000 pounds of non-perishable food items collected from 7 to 10 a.m. in front of Brookshire’s. 
Approximately 10 volunteers from the pantry helped throughout the drive loading and unloading donated food items.
Donations were made by employees of the Texas Department of Transportation, the Atlanta High School Key Club and the Morris Upchurch Middle School Student Council. Many individuals dropped off cash donations as well as food items. All the donated food will be provided to needy Cass County residents during the Thanksgiving and Christmas holidays.

Red River Pharmacy holds grand opening

Submitted by Casscounty1 on
Red River Pharmacy recently held their ribbon cutting ceremony in Atlanta. The owners look forward to continuing to provide the Atlanta area with the local retail pharmacy service they deserve.
Owner Coy Williamson told the Citizens Journal that the idea to open a location in Atlanta began after the closing and sell out of another pharmacy called the Medicine Chest. Customers missing the more individualized  service they were accustomed to, bent the ear of Williamson and others at the specialty pharmacy in Texarkana.
A partnership was formed between himself, Red River Pharmacy owner David Boudreaux and pharmicists Curt Willett and Clay Morris.
This will be the partners’ first run at an independent retail pharmacy operation.
Williamson and Boudreaux decided that Atlanta would be a great location for their retail pharmacy and  approached Willett and Morris with the idea and offered them a partnership.
