A local fuel business is giving back to the community with the establishment of “Pride Pumps,” where a portion of each gallon sold will go to the Bowie Independent School District.

Mark Ashley of Ashley-Douglass Distributing in Bowie announced Monday the company will donate two cents from each gallon of fuel sold out of the Pride Pump to the local school district.

Ashley operates the credit card-only fuel station located at1001 E. Wise. He explains Bill Douglass sent him some photos of similar projects his company is involved around the region and they decided to do it in Bowie.

“It sounded like a great idea to me. My family has been in the fuel business 70 years in Bowie, my dad did it before me. It is one way to give back in a positive way,” explained Ashley.

Food is supposed to bring people together.
It sits at the center of our holidays, church potlucks, birthday parties, first dates, family reunions and late-night kitchen conversations. In Texas especially, I feel like feeding people is one of the purest forms of love we know. We celebrate with casseroles, comfort with pies, and gather around smoked meats and shared desserts.
Food is hospitality. Food is belonging.
But for some people, food is also calculation.
Before the appetizers even arrive, some of us are already scanning ingredients, evaluating risk, rehearsing questions, and trying to determine whether asking those questions is about to make everyone at the table uncomfortable.
