Community Relations Director Saundra Bramlett is Legacy Oaks’ newest director, taking over the job from Kelly Case just six weeks ago. The idea was initially Case’s while Bramlett got to oversee its implementation.
“We're just really pleased to always serve the community any way we can,” Bramlett said. “So hopefully, we will be able to not only supply some Azle students with some lunches, but also lunch bags. We just look forward to doing that and any other way we can plug in and help out the community. This is an event that we're really reaching out to our professional partners throughout the community, folks that work in healthcare or just other professional capacities. We've had a really amazing turnout, and we're going to keep it open for the next week so that we can stuff these lunch boxes as full as possible. It’s good to help the kids out, you know, making sure they've got their meals, and they can focus on school and what's important.”

Until August, Legacy Oaks of Azle staff will be trading a bag containing a sandwich, chips, fruit and other foodstuffs for canned goods and other non-perishable items.
