COVID-19 UPDATE
Like most of the world, the South Plains Nativity has been impacted by the coronavirus pandemic. In lieu of the traditional South Plains Nativity experience, the Lubbock Texas stakes of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints will donate the majority of our budget to nonprofit organizations in the Lubbock, Clovis, and Hobbs communities. Our donations will help feed the hungry, care for the homeless, and protect the vulnerable. In an effort to support those communities, we are making donations to nonprofit organizations in Clovis and Hobbs, NM as well as Lubbock, TX. We encourage you to join with us in supporting our community and sharing the love of our Savior Jesus Christ, whose birth we remember this Christmas season by clicking on the links below:
1. Hartley House (Clovis, NM)
Hartley House has served domestic violence victims and their families for more than 40 years. Women, men, and children can stay at the shelter for up to 90 days and receive assistance in finding housing, getting connected with necessary services, and moving forward in life. Hartley House also provides support services for survivors, their families, and offers intervention programs for batterers who want to stop.
2. Weekend Hunger Initiative (Hobbs, NM)
Weekend Hunger Initiative provides food for children in Hobbs ISD who need it. Students receive bags of food to take home at their school each week. Currently, WHI is feeding over 1,000 students, and not only on the weekends with many children learning from home for now. This year they are short 500 cases of milk to get through the schoolyear, a cost of nearly $7,000.

CONTRIBUTEThe South Plains Nativity would not be entering its thirteenth year this Christmas season if it were not for the generous support of the Lubbock community. Contributions of nativities and works of art are what bring the life and spirit to the exhibit every year. These nativities and art are loaned to the exhibit for a brief time and handled with great care.
