High Plains Food Bank (HPFB), established in 1982, is the largest hunger-relief organization serving the Texas Panhandle. Primarily, we distribute millions of meals through a network of over 140 feeding partner agencies. In addition, our targeted programs directly feed, educate, and empower underserved communities.

OUR MISSION IS TO ALLEVIATE HUNGER IN THE TEXAS PANHANDLE.

Many families in the Texas Panhandle are food insecure. As a member of the Feeding America network, HPFB can provide 9 meals worth of food for every dollar donated. Sources of donated food include the USDA’s Emergency Food Assistance Program, local food drives, grocery stores, restaurants, processing plants, ranchers, feedlot operators and individual donors. In addition, HPFB purchases food to supplement the warehouse supply in order to provide the variety of foods highly needed for balanced nutrition.

The need is real, and your help is vital. Please consider helping solve local hunger by making a one-time or recurring donation on our secure donation page.
