LUBBOCK, Texas – On Monday, Lady Raider Basketball will be taking Pop-Tart donations for the Junior League of Lubbock's Food2Kids program.
Â
Fans can bring a box of Pop-Tarts to the box office and receive a free ticket to the Kansas State game.

All donations will go to Lubbock ISD elementary school kids.Â
Â
ABOUT FOOD2KIDS PROGRAM
Since 2006, the Junior League of Lubbock has focused on addressing this need through its Food2Kids program. Modeled after America's Second Harvest Backpack Program, Food2Kids works in conjunction with Lubbock ISD elementary schools to provide sacks of food to children identified by school staff members (counselors, nurses, teachers, or principals) as living in a food-insecure household.
Â
Every week, dozens of volunteers assemble sacks of food that are sent home with children on Friday afternoons. These sacks contain foods that are easy to open, require no refrigeration, and can be prepared without adult supervision. The sacks contain things such as fruit juice, pop-top cans of ravioli, applesauce, cereal, goldfish crackers, and Pop-Tarts.
