LUBBOCK, Texas (KCBD) - With the community still being impacted because of the COVID19 pandemic, South Plains Food Bank wanted to see what was available to help more families.
Through a Feeding America grant, they were able to do that through pop-up pantries.
“This is a great opportunity for our outreach team to meet the needs of many more families who aren’t able to come to the food bank. There is no paperwork required for these pantries, but it is on a first come, first serve basis,” says Vanessa Morelion, Director of Development.

LUBBOCK, Texas (KCBD) - As the state froze under a cold snap, so did grocery store supply chains. Texans went hungry as delivery trucks could not reach the stores.
That’s when H-E-B reached out to local farmers like Alcove Farms to close the gap.
Farm manager Amos Green said although road conditions were dangerous, they personally delivered dozens of crates to the Lubbock and Abilene H-E-B stores.
“They made the call to us and we were able to help,” Green said. “It wasn’t the most optimal trip to make the roads were a little bit treacherous, but we figured if we have supplies, might as well help where we can.”
