LUBBOCK, Texas (KCBD) – A family in Hereford isd lost their home and all of their belongings in a house fire this week.
On Thursday, the district posted on social media, listing items they need, ranging from clothes to bedroom furniture, home appliances, and monetary donations.
Hereford ISD posted a statement on Friday:
“Today meant something a little more than football.
Yesterday, we shared the story of one of our HISD families who lost their home and belongings in a fire. What happened next was Hereford doing what Hereford does best. Our community showed up.
The response was overwhelming. Clothes, furniture, household items, monetary donations, and so much more came pouring in from people who simply wanted to help a family in need.
After practice today, our Herd football players stepped in to help with the next part. They loaded up the donated items, delivered them to the family, and helped set everything up in their home.
You may have seen the words “Herd One” on the back of their shirts or over on the Hereford Athletics page. It is a motto that means many things. One of those is a commitment to being 1% better every single day.
But today, Herd One meant something a little different.
It meant a community coming together as one. It meant helping our neighbors when they needed us. It meant our student-athletes learning that being part of the Herd is about so much more than what happens under the Friday night lights.
Today, we were Herd One.
Thank you, Hereford, for once again showing what makes this community so special.”
