National Association of Letter Carriers Food Drive:

STAMP OUT HUNGER! 2012 

We would like to thank our local Letter Carriers for assisting the South Plains Food Bank in raising more than 38,000 pounds of food during this year’s National Association of Letter Carriers: Stamp Out Hunger! Food Drive. Summer is a difficult time for our neighbor’s across the South Plains since Hunger doesn’t take a vacation.

A big thanks also goes out to everyone in our community who put bags of food by your mail boxes. Maybe you gave a whole bag; maybe you only had a few cans to spare – whatever the case every can makes a difference.

And thanks to the United States Post Office for helping make this food drive happen every year. See you next year – on Saturday, May 11, 2013 for the 21^st Annual National Association of Letter Carriers: Stamp Out Hunger! Food Drive.

 ...Got SNAP?

Are you, or someone you know, in need of food assistance? The South Plains Food Bank can help. We have an outreach team that can help you with the application process for SNAP (formerly known as Food Stamps); children's medicaid/CHIP; adult medicaid; Long Term Care; Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF); and Women's Health Program.

Do you work? That's okay! One of our outreach social workers can meet you somewhere public during your lunch, or you can set up an appoint to meet them at the Food Bank during your lunch break.

For more information or to begin the application process for any of these programs call the South Plains Food Bank at 806-763-3003 an ask for an outreach social worker.
