LubbockPRIDE is aware of the food-related issues relating to SNAP. We have gotten together as comprehensive a list as we can for those in need. If you are aware of any additional places, please comment them below so we can add them and donate! LubbockPRIDE will be donating to as many of these places as possible in the next two weeks. If you can also donate, please do. If you are in need, please reach out to any of these places as well. We don’t have full information for every location as many are "reach out" only, but we are sharing what we've been able to find. Please let us know ASAP if there are any errors.
If you are interested in donating but cannot make it to these places, we will accept donations at ANY of our events.
