A CPS semi-trailer will be parked in the Drug Mart parking lot next to Kroger?s in Mt. Gilead through Monday Sept. 11. The load will be taken directly to the Northside Christian church in Spring, Texas.

Texas Farm Bureau ag assistance

The Texas Farm Bureau has established a relief fund to address the agricultural losses inflicted by Hurricane Harvey. The category four storm struck Texas with a vengeance, flooding Texas farm communities, small towns and major cities. Those farm and ranch families are now left facing overwhelming odds following high winds and unprecedented rainfall.
