Volunteers also cooked 43 briskets, and gave away 700 plates of food for free.
Artist Michael Sanchez , Alina DeLeon, Mariah Hinojosa and Yanira Castillo work on a mural they are creating dedicated to those who were killed during or died in the aftermath of the Uvalde shootings.
Sanchez said he hopes to complete the 10-by-30-foot mural by next Sunday. “Hopefully, God willing,” he said.Jaime Rodriguez and his friends were packing up tables, chairs and a long smoker that looked like an escapee from a NASA rocketry experiment after giving away more than 700 plates of brisket they started cooking at 5 p.m. Saturday.
While the plates, including rice and beans, were free, plenty of recipients donated money that Rodriguez said will go to a memorial fund for Robb Elementary School. Several said that they and their church-going family and friends could not attend their usual noon service because of heightened security surrounding the president’s visit, which drew from throughout Texas and across the U.S.
