The holidays are coming up fast - but many South Plains area families may go without a Christmas meal this year. The South Plains Mall is hoping to change that with the Big Red Bucket Food Drive.
On Friday the month long food drive kicked off. 50-red buckets will be placed in various locations throughout the mall to collect canned goods for needy families. The buckets will then be distributed to families across the South Plains.
