About 340 vehicles and hundreds of people waited in line early Saturday morning, June 27 to receive food from the South Plains Food Bank. Lubbock Catholic Charities along with STAR Case Manager Rebecca Valenzuela helped host a “Pop-up food pantry” in Brownfield at Coleman park. Valenzuela noted that all they needed was 30 volunteers, but there were over 50 volunteers that took on the task. Valenzuela said when she was asked what was needed, “I told them that the community needs food.” South Plains Food Bank provided fresh produce, cheese boxes amongst other foods to all families; with no requirements to qualify for the assistance.
