Today is Thankful Thursday! Life gets better when you adopt an attitude of gratitude. One major study showed that people who wrote down what they are grateful for felt 25% happier after ten weeks than those who did not. What are you thankful for?

Back to School Shoe Drive
89.5 KVNE and Buckner Children and Family Services have joined forces for a Back to School Shoe Drive to benefit East Texas kids in need.  Last year we were able to help 3,200 children. This year, we’re expecting as many as 4000 East Texans to need our help.  The most urgent needs are athletic or canvas shoes, youth-4 through adult sizes, but any new shoe donation is appreciated. Click here for drop off locations.
