So what are those elusive opportunities we are talking about? I think an education is one of the best ways we can help the next generation reach, and exceed, their potential. So what does the South Plains Food Bank have to do with education? A lot and I'm not talking about just school supplies either. It's a basic theory regarding human needs. If the first need isn't met, the others can't even be approached. If a child is not eating or is constantly having to wonder where their next meal is coming from, if they get one, they aren't focused on learning. And who can blame them? Once they are fed, preferably healthy foods, they can then begin the task of listening to their teachers and not their stomachs.
The South Plains Food Bank serves thousands of meals every year to students through our Kids Cafe program. This year we have sixteen sites across West Texas!! Help us help the next generation of kids be the best they can be!
