Where it started.
Last November, families from all over Lubbock filled the parking lot at The Condra School. We served hot meals and sent families home with Thanksgiving food. Kids got free screenings, took photos with Santa and made flower arrangements to take home. A great time was had, and we’ve been thinking about it ever since.
Heart for the Holidays is back for a second year, and we’re hoping to welcome even more families this time.
What to expect
A day for the whole family.
No sign-up and no cost. Bring the whole family. Meals are served while supplies last.
Free hot meals
Hamburgers from Aspen Creek Grill for everyone who comes.
South Plains Food Bank mobile pantry
