Under The Oaks

Home Away From Home

College is a big transition: new city, new routine, and a lot of firsts without family down the hall. Under the Oaks keeps students at Texas Tech, LCU, South Plains College, and Wayland Baptist known, prayed for, and cared for all year long, one care package and one conversation at a time.

Choose the Level of Support

Every package is personalized to the student, favorite snacks, drinks, colors, and all, and can be layered together across the school year. Start with a move-in gift, add a semester of encouragement, or commit to being their home away from home all year. We partner with churches of all denominations to pray for and be a steady support for every student in the program.
