A small convenience store in the area, however, is generating its own buzz.\n

Owned by Frank Hemani, a self proclaimed \u201cpeople person,\u201d Star Mart is located on Farm Road 515 between the lake and Emory. The store mainly caters to locals and anglers looking for a record catch on Lake Fork.\n

The store is nondescript, with nothing out of the ordinary until you get to the sign on a refrigerator window near the milk.\n

The sign reads: \u201cIf you don\u2019t have money or a job you can have a sandwich and a bottle of water for free.\u201d\n

According to Frank, he saw people in the area struggling to get by and decided to try and help out. He stated that he gives out about 6 sandwiches on a weekly basis.\n

He added that recently he saw a woman with two kids in the backseat drive to the store. The kids were hungry and crying, yet the woman had no money to buy food for the children.\n

Frank made them a pizza, and said of his kindness: \u201cI have been blessed. I have never had to struggle.\u201d\n

He shared that he got the idea when he watched a YouTube video in which a grocery store was making a similar offer. When he looked into it further, he found that \u201cthere are a lot of people out there that will help other people.\u201d\n
