Brownwood Bulletin
At Good Samaritan Ministries’ Donation Center, about a half-dozen staff and volunteers worked at Good Samaritan Ministries Donation Center, busily sorting items including clothing, shoes and toys Monday afternoon.
The men and woman at the Donation Center, located at 200 W. Chandler in downtown Brownwood, maintained a stream of happy conversation as they worked.
“Let’s see what kind of toys are in this here.”
“What’s in here … beads!” This is going to be a record day.
The Donation Center, housed in a facility that served several purposes in previous years, is marking its one-year anniversary.
Every few minutes Monday afternoon, another vehicle pulled into the drive-through donation portico outside the building. A staff member or volunteer walked outside to greet each vehicle’s occupants and collect the items being donated.
