MAURICE — Donald Mendoza has a goal to give back to the community continually.
On June 26, Mendoza Ford in Maurice played host to an Independence Day Celebration, including live music and fireworks. While it proved to be a great show, it also showed how serious Mendoza, the dealership’s owner, is about being a strong community partner.

While many 20-year-olds are sitting home this summer trying to figure out their next move in life, Abbeville’s own Sabien Brown moves forward by helping his neighbors.
Three weeks ago, Brown opened a “free store” to help his community.
Brown and members of the Abbeville community held a ribbon cutting on Monday at his store, Sabien Speciality Services, located on 803 North Lamar Street (behind SLCC).
It is open on Tuesdays and Fridays and contains toiletries, canned food, baby products, second-hand clothing, shoes and other household items.
