High Plains Food Bank

This week, Lone Star Santas will be sending their representatives to Amarillo to make a donation to High Plains Food Bank.

In just June alone, the HPFB served over 11,000 households, for the largest one-month total in the food bank’s history.

Recipients will receive a 16-pound food box that includes 4 pounds of dry goods, 6 pounds of protein and 6 pounds of produce.

They are looking for volunteers who can donate a few hours during the week.

The High Plains Food Bank is the latest local businesses to close to the public over COVID-19 concerns. However, they are continuing to alleviate hunger.

In Amarillo, Subway restaurants have teamed up with High Plains Food Bank to combat hunger in our area through the 'Feeding the Need' initiative.

I love this food and fund drive, it is so inspiring to see the community come together for a great cause.

When was the last time you grabbed a group of friends or family and spent a night volunteering? Volunteering doesn't have to be boring and when you get a group of friends together you can have fun making a difference.

The summer slump has hit for a lot of organizations in Amarillo. People are not on schedules, lots of families are taking vacations, and therefore saving every dime for their vacations. During the summer giving slows way down.

Every single day in Amarillo and in our Texas Panhandle Community a person or a family goes hungry. They don't know where their next meal will come from. It's a scary thought that 1 in 7 people here in the Texas Panhandle are food insecure.
