Needs From: Volunteer Center of Lubbock

Be part of one of our most fun events of the year! Our Father’s Day Cornhole Tournament brings dads/father figures and their kids together for friendly competition, great food, and music.

Volunteers will help create a smooth and fun experience by assisting with set-up, serving food, and helping track scores during the tournament.

Help us create a beautiful and meaningful day for the incredible women in our community. This special Mother’s Day event combines charcuterie and painting for a time of creativity, connection, and appreciation.

Volunteers will make it all possible by supporting childcare and helping with set-up and clean-up.

This volunteer opportunity supports foster and kinship parents while they attend required trainings, support groups, and educational classes. These gatherings are an important part of equipping caregivers with the tools and encouragement they need to care well for children in their homes.

Volunteers will provide childcare during these sessions by engaging children in games, activities, and supervised play in a safe and welcoming environment. By caring for children during this time, volunteers help parents focus fully on learning, connection, and support.

Because this role involves working directly with children, volunteers will be contacted to complete a background check and any other required steps before being eligible to serve in childcare roles. Our Volunteer Coordinator, Azurie Rodriguez, will work with you through this process and answer any questions along the way.

Join us in serving families through our Community Market! This event provides families with essential household items at no cost. Every other month, families in the community can shop with dignity for the items they need most, from cleaning supplies and household essentials to personal care products

Volunteers play an important role in creating a positive experience by assisting families as they shop, restocking, and supporting staff throughout the event.

Did you end the holidays with extra wrapping paper, bows, bags, and boxes? We’d love to put it to good use! We’re collecting unused or gently used wrapping supplies left over from the holiday season.  Donated items will be used to wrap gifts for the children and families we serve, helping make their holiday season feel special and celebrated.

Your post-holiday donations help us stay stocked and ready for upcoming celebrations and holidays. What might be leftover in your closet can become part of a meaningful moment for a family in our programs.

Donations can be dropped off during regular business hours or coordinated by emailing the Volunteer Engagement Coordinator at: azurie.rodriguez@buckner.org
