local

change 4 children 

Change for Children is a ministry providing weekend food bags to middle school students in LISD, Frenship, and Lubbock Cooper Schools. We are currently sending home 450-500 bags each weekend directly through the schools. Teams of volunteers fill these food bags that go home with the students on Friday. These children have been identified by principals, counselors, and teachers as possibly not eating from the time they leave school on Friday until they return on Monday.
