Do I have to prove my income to get food from South Plains Food Bank, Inc.?
South Plains Food Bank, Inc. does not publish a requirement either way. Each partner pantry sets its own, so ask the pantry before you go, or call 806-763-3003. Do not assume you are turned away: most pantries in the Feeding America network serve anyone who says they need help.
How do I actually get food from South Plains Food Bank, Inc.?
Unlike most food banks, South Plains asks you to apply directly. Go to spfb.org/need-food/ and use the Food Assistance Form. Once your application is processed you get a confirmation text with an assigned pickup day and time - so wait for the text rather than turning up. That page also has a ZIP-code map of nearby pick-up locations, a Senior Box sign-up form, a Christmas Box form and a link to the children's feeding sites. Phone 806-763-3003 if you cannot use the form.
When is South Plains Food Bank, Inc. open?
Set by the food bank on spfb.org/need-food/, and that page is the place to check because it changes. At the time of reading: the application portal is open Monday to Thursday 8:30am-5:00pm only, and is closed whenever the office is closed. Voucher pickup was listed as Monday, Tuesday and Thursday 8:30-11:45am and 12:30-5:30pm, and Wednesday and Friday 8:30-11:45am with the afternoon closed. The page also posts one-off closures. Your own Food Box pickup day and time come in the confirmation text, not from these hours.
Does South Plains Food Bank, Inc. cost anything?
Free. No charge or expected donation is mentioned on the pages read.
What do I need to bring?
Not stated on the South Plains Food Bank, Inc. page we read. Bring an ID and something with your address if you have them, and bags or a box for the food — but do not stay home for lack of paperwork; most pantries take you anyway.
