LOS HERMANOS FAMILIA (LHF) is an organization that is increasing the habitus of area families by fostering an environment that offers them more exploration, knowledge, life experiences, and new opportunities, including education. LHF was founded by Lubbockite, Christy Martinez-Garcia. She formed Los Hermanos Familia after a last request to go fishing with the entire family by an area farmer who was also her father-in-law.
As a farmer, he often missed family gatherings due to work and farming requirements. The request was filled by Christy and her husband Frank Garcia along with a collection of their friends and organization in 2008. Today, LHF has created a movement that addresses the needs of families in the community through its fishing events, programs, and initiatives.
