The Children's Home of Lubbock

The Children's Home is a community of volunteers, workers and supporters, pouring their efforts together to make life better for children who need to see that caring and love do exist in a world that has often been unfair and unjust.  Since the Home opened its doors in 1954, over 5,600 children have been helped through the Home's services.  Praised by licensure reviews as one of the best programs in the State of Texas, the Children's Home places a strong emphasis on family rehabilitation, with programs of care designed for children and their families.
 
The Children's Home is licensed and reimbursed for services rendered by the Texas Department of Family and Protective Services and meets or exceeds all standards established for out-of-home care of children.  On any given day an average of 145 boys and girls are in care in the various programs of The Children's Home of Lubbock.  Children are served without regard to their race, religion, or national origin.

The Children's Home has a debt-free modern group care campus, designed to serve 90 children on any given day. Forty-five to sixty more children are served in other programs at the Home.
