DINA'S WORDS

Dear Friend of the South Plains Food Bank, Summer is in full swing! For so many of us, summer has brought fun vacations and trips to the pool. The kids are out of school and enjoying days filled with friends and adventure. But not everyone is enjoying it. For families struggling just to get by, the summer months mean even more food insecurity and heartache. Although kids will return to school soon, right now children from low-income families don’t have access to school meal programs, which forces parents to tighten grocery budgets — and jeopardizes their child’s ability to simply be a kid, without the pang of hunger.

But, thanks to you and your tremendous support, the South Plains Food Bank can help provide the nutritious meals families need to thrive.

I hope you enjoy this edition of Manna and are reminded of the vital difference your support means to children in our community — helping them learn, grow, and thrive.

Then, I hope you’ll consider giving to help even more families in need. When every $1 helps provide 3 meals, you can change countless lives this summer and provide a strong start to the school year.

Blessings and be well,

Dina Jeffries
