The Texas Department of Public Safety (DPS) teamed up with local agencies on Saturday to host a birthday party for children in Lubbock foster care. The birthday party was for all children born in January, February, March and April.  Two more events are planned this year in order to cover all birthdays.

During the party, the children enjoyed cake and games while being accompanied by special birthday buddies, including Texas Highway Patrol Troopers, sheriff deputies, officers and firefighters.

The birthday party was hosted by DPS, Lubbock Crime Victim Assistance Services, Lubbock County Sheriff’s Office, Lubbock Police Department, Lubbock Fire Department, Southcrest Baptist Church and numerous volunteers.
