LUBBOCK, Texas (KCBD) – With schools out for the summer and childhood hunger spiking, Mrs. Baird\u2019s Bread and United Supermarkets are partnering once again to support families in need.<\/p>\n
Mrs. Baird\u2019s fourth annual \u2018Fighting Texas Hunger\u2019 campaign is underway, providing a significant boost to the South Plains Food Bank this summer.<\/p>\n
Volunteers from Mrs. Baird\u2019s Bread helped assemble meal kits Wednesday at the food bank to ensure that local families and children have food on the table during the summer months.<\/p>\n
Summer meal kits include a full loaf of Mrs. Baird\u2019s Bread and a full jar of peanut butter and jelly provided by United.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s very important to Mrs. Baird\u2019s because we\u2019ve always made a point to give back to the communities that have given so much to us over the 118 years,\u201d Shane Sumrow, spokesperson for Mrs. Baird\u2019s, said. \u201cIt\u2019s just to put those great meals on the tables of those in need this summer. And we know that there is a big need here in the South Plains Food Bank. So we are pledging 11,000 loaves of freshly baked bread to the South Plains Food Bank this summer.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cWe\u2019re honored to partner with Mrs. Baird\u2019s to come together to fight food insecurity over the summer months,\u201d Joey Marcades with the United Family said. \u201cYou know, obviously it\u2019s another longstanding partnership, but that\u2019s core to who we are. It\u2019s helping fight hunger in our areas and our communities.\u201d<\/p>\n
The SPFB said the kits will be distributed through various schools starting on Monday.<\/p>\n
