Fall is here!

It's the first day of fall and for many that means cooler weather, sweats, hot chocolate by the fire and big holiday meals with lots of food to go around. It does mean cooler weather for everyone but is where the assured similarities end. While some look forward to the holiday meals with excitement and joy, others look towards it with anxiousness and fear. Why? They might not have enough food for tomorrow much less a the expected large holiday meal. This is just one reason, out of many, that the South Plains Food Bank needs your help - year round!

Not only do we need individuals who volunteer their time, their food and their voices but we also need individuals who are generous in donating their finances. Like any non-profit, operations are one of our largest expenses. There are trucks that take food to rural areas that cost money to maintain, spaces to store food that all contribute to the overhead needed to run a food bank.

A great big thank you to all our donors - we simply could not run the day to day operations without your continued support. Interested in donating? Visit our webpage to see the many ways you can donate!
