Working Together

Children’s Home of Lubbock’s mission is to care for children and families in crisis.

The campus, like any small community, has numerous jobs that must be done to keep things running smoothly. Volunteers and volunteer groups assist with daily tasks, special events, big projects, or by simply giving extra attention to the children. This is accomplished through hands-on work, prayers for our children, charity drives or other financial support. Won’t you consider bringing a group to help serve the children, and let them see the love of God through your acts of kindness?

What You Can Do

Serve as an Individual or Group

Use your time and talents to support daily life on campus or bring your friends, coworkers, or small groups to serve together. Opportunities may include:

Be a part of campus projects (cleaning, organizing, landscaping, commissary needs)
Assist with homework or tutoring after school
Support summer programs and special events with all age groups
Hosting game nights or activities with the kids
Preparing meals or care packages
Seasonal events and holiday support

Partner as a Church

We love partnering with local churches to build lasting relationships with our cottages and families. Your church can:

Adopt a cottage and provide ongoing support
Host on-campus devotionals
Serve meals or host monthly connection nights
Sponsor special events, holidays, or back-to-school needs
Walk alongside our staff and kids through consistent presence and encouragement
Commit to praying for our children, staff, and families we serve
Come alongside our mission in a consistent, meaningful way

Invest in Our Young Adults (Compass Program)

Help young adults (ages 18–21) successfully transition into independence by:

Providing rides to work (as needed, no weekly commitment)
Mentoring or offering life skills support
Donating resources or covering practical needs

Support Through Donations

You can make an impact by giving:

Household items, food, or supplies
Gift cards for everyday needs
Financial gifts to support ongoing care and programs
Event needs

Who Can Serve?

Any age group is welcome. Keep in mind that children under the age of 18 must be accompanied by adults. We try to limit the size of groups that work directly with the children to a number that does not overwhelm them. Larger groups may be asked to do large physical projects or may be divided into smaller work assignments.
