High Plains Food Bank - Amarillo, Texas
High Plains Food Bank works with local agencies, including senior centers, child care facilities, soup kitchens, emergency pantries, shelters, churches, and other nonprofits to help feed people in need in the Texas Panhandle. In addition to providing food to the community, the food bank offers nutrition education classes, as well as helping people navigate the process of applying for food and health benefits.
I’ve always been interested in Food Banks’ mission of feeding people. Since I moved here I’ve been looking to give back and engage with the community. It’s concerning that many people consider our country the best, but in a lot of areas, when you look at rankings of hunger, child poverty, and things like that, we’re low on the list. There are 20 or 30 countries better than us in these situations. It’s shocking! There are a lot of areas where we can do better.
