As a food bank, our objective is to feed people in their time of need and to give them hope in their time of despair. This includes times of natural disaster. Now is the time to prepare for possible disasters, when they have yet to occur. If organizations are found scrambling after the fact, distribution is often less efficient, more time consuming and chaotic. While we may not be in danger of being in the eye of a hurricane, we all know the devastating effects tornadoes can have on our corner of the world.
Not only do we want to be prepared for a local disaster, we want to be prepared to lend a hand in a national disaster as well. Food banks generally play a large role in disaster relief and the SPFB is no exception! Your consistent donations to the SPFB not only help us feed those who are hungry now but they enable us to be prepared for the unexpected, such a local or national disaster.
Lubbock Tornado (May 1970)
