Hundreds of Dallas homeless were fed over the weekend, not by a student organization doing community service or an adult Sunday School class, but by a group of Lake Highlands buddies that meet for dinner each Thursday at Brothers Pizza. The team, which decided to call themselves the Thursday Night Brothers Pizza Social Club, included LHHS teachers Casey Boland and Tracey Bishkin, Bishkin’s siblings Lamar and Jane, Cindy Terrell (who needed a night out after her house was on the LH Women’s League home tour), Jill Vigil, Billy & Tina Jones, Kim Stanley, Bill & Eve Finn, Matt, Kirsten & Olivia Hudnak, David O’Brien and Jennifer & Scott Bushor.
After hearing Austin Street Shelter would likely run short of food for the Saturday evening meal, the friends convened and unanimously agreed to help. By the time they finished their labor of love, they’d delivered 500 sandwiches, dozens of boiled eggs, and multiple trays of fresh fruit and cookies. According to Scott, hearing the shelter’s staff utter “Thank God!” when they arrived was well worth it.
