Hunger Never Takes a Vacation

Summer has arrived for thousands of school children throughout the South Plains. With it comes dreams of sleeping late, going fishing, playing baseball, and just plain having fun. It's what summer is supposed to be.

But for at least one in four children across the South Plains, summer means not being able to receive a well balanced breakfast or lunch until school starts again. These are children who qualify for the free and reduced nutrition program offered by schools. These meal are vital to the nutritional well being of these children. These meals provide the energy youngsters need to play, to learn, and to grow.  

This summer, with the support of great volunteers and donors, the South Plains Food Bank is providing food at fourteen sites as part of the Summer Food Service Program. This summer, hunger will take a vacation!

For a map of sites visit our Summer Food Service Hunger Map.  For more information, call Tammy Hester at 806-544-1332 or email thester@spfb.org.
