Two well-known Lubbock community partners are lacing up for a good cause. Nonprofit Buckner and 90.1 FM Family Life Radio have officially kicked off their annual Lubbock Community Shoe Drive, rallying residents to donate footwear for those in need right here in the Hub City.
The partnership brings together Buckner’s long-standing charitable mission with Family Life Radio’s reach across the local community, creating a natural team effort to collect shoes for families who need them most. The annual drive has become a familiar warm-weather tradition for Lubbock residents looking for a simple, tangible way to give back.
Whether it’s gently worn sneakers, sandals, or everyday shoes, donations collected through the drive go toward helping community members who might otherwise go without. Efforts like this one reflect the spirit of neighbor-helping-neighbor that runs deep in West Texas.
In related giving news, Lubbock Children’s Clinic recently received a $5,000 donation through Nexstar’s 30 Days of Giving campaign — another sign that local organizations and media partners are stepping up in meaningful ways for Lubbock families this summer.
Together, these initiatives highlight the generosity woven into the fabric of the Lubbock community, and serve as a reminder that small acts of giving — a pair of shoes, a charitable donation — can make a real difference in people’s lives.
