Prosperity Bank is pleased to announce that, with the help of our community and our sponsors, we are able to donate over $25,000 to the South Plains Food Bank from funds raised at the 2016 Prosperity Bank Catfish Fry. We would like to thank everyone who attended and supported this year’s Catfish Fry; it was our most successful event, to-date. A check will be presented on Thursday, July 21, 2016 at 5:15 PM in the new South Plains Food Bank facility, 5605 MLK Jr. Blvd.
“Through our involvement with U Can Share, we have learned that the summer months can be the most difficult times to feed people,” says Harry Zimmerman, President of the Lubbock Region. “Prosperity Bank strives to help improve the lives of people within our community by working with the South Plains Food Bank. This donation will translate into more than 75,000 meals for those who live in hunger in West Texas.” Zimmerman adds.
South Plains Food Bank, Inc. was founded in 1983 to provide food and hope for families in need in a 20-county area of West Texas. Through a network of more than 220 non-profit agencies and churches, food is available in the following counties: Bailey, Cochran, Crosby, Dawson, Dickens, Floyd, Gains, Garza, Hale, Hockley, Kent, King, Lamb, Lubbock, Lynn, Motley, Scurry, Stonewall, Terry and Yoakum.
