West Texas Food Bank combats summer hunger with expanded food service sites

The West Texas Food Bank is pleased to announce its Summer Food Service Program (SFSP) to address summer hunger in the community. With schools out for the summer, many children who rely on school meals face a heightened risk of food insecurity. To combat this, the West Texas Food Bank has established multiple SFSP sites to provide nutritious meals and snacks to children during the summer months.
