International Have A Hart Day in Lubbock Texas

One year ago the first Have A Hart Day kicked off in Lubbock during International Have A Hart Day. And today we did it again. Our four volunteers braved the cold rain (and one volunteer a 2 hour drive) to lend a hand at the South Plains Food Bank.

As we helped to chip away at the tasks we were given. The jokes got a little corny but at least none of the volunteers flaked out on us.

We actually finished all of our assigned work before quittin’ time so we got to move on to other fun tasks, which barely every happens. The goal over the next week and a half is 3400 boxes packed, today we, and the other volunteers did 1100 boxes, and repacked 2 pallets of snack bags of chips.

November is one for the books

Yesterday at the South Plains Food Bank, three volunteers thought inside the box to help fill over 1250 dry boxes for holiday distribution. That equals about 5000 meals in 3 hours.

As usual we got to meet an amazing group of local high school kids that gave up their Saturday to help the community. And we also got to joke around with the wonderful staff of the food bank, who always have a smile and a joke about how we needed to be there every weekend and should call in sick on Monday to help out even more. I think that may be a hint we should be full time professional volunteers (is that a thing? maybe it’s just an oxymoron).

All of us are very sore but it was worth it. As always!

October HAHD Can we do it?  Yes we CAN!!!

Today we helped to mark and reorganize pallets of donated can goods that will soon be put into  boxes to be distributed to the local community for Christmas meals.

I have been going to the food bank for Have A Hart Day for the last Year,  but i have also gone on my own time to help think and figure out my own life when i am having a rough time. I have been up there so much that the employees of the food bank recognize me and have gotten to the point of “you know what you are doing, just go with it”, today I was even put in charge of my group break.

I may not have the most volunteers, 2-3 HAHD volunteers working around multiple groups of 30 or more. But my 2-3 volunteers work their bottoms off to make sure that we do a great job fast, we never want to leave them behind on their quotas for the day.

The South Plains Food Bank is always willing to have us come by and have a good time doing great work. And Berry Massey always does a wonderful job of making sure that there is plenty for us to do and we are not overworked or underworked.

However, I always reserve 6 total spots and am having a hard time filling these spots, which makes me feel bad that I am taking spots away from others, and leaving them short handed. So i will be only reserving 4 total spots from here on out,

Have A Hart Day will be working at the South Plains Food Bank for the rest of the year, and I am proud to go and help out every month. Saturday November 19th 9am-noon Saturday December 3rd 9am -noon. (International Have A Hart Day)

If you want to get involved either with Have A Hart Day or just the Lubbock Community please email me and i will be happy to guide you in the right direction.
