First day back

When I came to work this morning, I struggled to find a parking place. Normally, this would be a cause of much frustration but at the SPFB it simply means that more people are out helping alleviate the problem of hunger in thier community! It was PACKED!! Not a spot in the parking lot or on the street (good exercise for me).

The activity inside the food bank has been non-stop all day. It always is but today there is a certain energy that I can't quite put my finger on but I love it! Today is the first day back for Lubbock teachers and one middle has spent their firt day back volunteering at the food bank. What a way to start the year out!! Each day teachers all across the nation give back to our children, these teachers went above and beyond their normal service to help feed the hungry.

They know how important it is for children to start school each day on a full stomach. They are able to do their jobs when their students aren't having to worry about where their next meal is coming from. So here they are, doing their part to ensure that children start the year off right! Thank you for spending your first day back at the South Plains Food Bank!
