Volunteers are critical to our mission, and we look forward to welcoming you soon. We strive to prevent the spread of COVID-19 while continuing to alleviate hunger across the Texas Panhandle. 

We are not able to fully complete the task of alleviating hunger in the Panhandle without the dedication of the countless volunteers who make it possible.  Maybe you feel a tug to get involved in something bigger than yourself. Well, we have you covered.  Volunteers help in The Garden, sort food in the product recovery warehouse, or help serve a meal in Kids Cafe. 

Your gift is urgently needed! The ongoing coronavirus pandemic continues to impact those struggling with hunger. We are gathering every possible resource to provide food and supplies to all who need it, but we’re facing a sharp increase in demand.  

More kids, parents, and seniors in our community are going hungry as a result of this ongoing crisis. Those who were already struggling face even greater challenges – not only to be fed, but to stay healthy. Nourishing food is the most basic need for our vulnerable neighbors.

Every dollar given to the High Plains Food Bank makes it possible to continue in the fight to end hunger.  In fact, because of the way the the food bank accesses food, we can stretch your dollar 10 times farther.  That means a $50 donation has a $500 impact!   With an online donation you can give wherever you are.  You can even set up a re-occurring gift. 

Alleviating hunger is not just about increasing food access, it is about educating people how to get the nutrition they need to lead a healthy and active lifestyle. We offer classes on the basics of nutrition along with topics such as preserving food, cooking with what you have, buying on a budget and even growing your own food. We believe knowledge is power, so feel the power  and join us in alleviating hunger with education.

We exist to alleviate hunger in The Panhandle.  We do this in many different ways.  

First, we provide food, a basic need. We delivered 8.25 million pounds of food in 2018 to the 29 counties we serve, in the top of the Texas Panhandle.  According to 2014 data from our most recent hunger study, we served an estimated 92,000 people, in 8,000 different families, through our partner agencies. This is a tangible way you can see what we are doing at the Food Bank. It has been a long-standing tradition since our inception to deliver shelf-stable and fresh foods to the people that need them.  We distribute the food through our over 190 agencies that work hand in hand with us to pinpoint need in their communities.  We deliver this basic need to people who need help getting back on their feet.
