South Plains Food Bank, partner with National Lubbock Bank to host Financial Literacy Classes – KCBD

Lubbock, Texas (KCBD) – The audience will soon have the opportunity to learn more about their finances thanks to the classes organized by the National Bank Lubbock and Food Bank South Plains.

Dina Jeffrries, CEO of The South Plains Food Bank, says the classes will be exhaustive and will offer different knowledge.

“These are classes that will go beyond your basic banking as a check and savings,” Jeffrins said. “We will investigate investments and reports on loans and mortgages, retirement opportunities, and we will really give a good overview of those we serve and each of the community who would like to learn more.”

This four -week series will begin on February 18th. The food will be provided at 5:30 pm, then the classes will continue from 18:00 to 20:00 at the Food Bank.

Presentations will be shown and the classes are made for interactive, with the size of the class being limited to 25 people.

SPFB Travis Johnson’s Coo said classes are intended to help families take and promote future success.

“We want to help you get out of this cycle of perhaps where you found yourself,” Johnson said. “We are super excited that we can do something like financial literacy hours; Trying to teach people how to do some things themselves and get out of this cycle they were in and try to help them thrive in our community. “

If you want to register for lessons, you will call the food bank to secure your place. The phone number to reach them is (806) 763-3003.

Johnson and Jeffrese say that supporting families is a top priority and hope the hours like these can provide more for Lubbock residents.

“We take care of your livelihood, we take care of your family, we take care of your loved ones,” Johnson said. “This is just an additional layer that we can offer to our community to really help the family and people who are in a sharp need.”

“I think when people know better, they do better,” Jeffrins said. “This is the way we can serve the whole person, the whole family unit. It’s not just about eating people here at the South Plains grocery bank. We want to make sure that we provide nourishment to grow beyond only the food on the table, but the resistance to their livelihood. When our community is thriving, we all do better. “
