On Tuesday afternoon, the Terry County Ministerial Alliance served lunch to the 86 members of the Brownfield Regional Medical Clinic staff and plan to serve lunch on Wednesday to the other 90 staff members as a way of saying thank you for being on the front line against COVID and serving the community. “This is a way to compliment them (BRMC staff) and a way to say thank you and that we appreciate everything you are doing,” said Calvary Baptist Church Pastor Steve Carter. He added they received donations from church members and the community in thanking the BRMC staff for providing assistance during the pandemic and for being in the community. This was better than writing a thank you letter to every member at BRMC, instead by feeding them it shows much more and allows them to say thank you to the staff members in person, eye to eye.
