Would you recognize the face of hunger in our community?
About 1 in 5 children (19.37%) in our community are
​on the National School Lunch and Breakfast Programs.
These children are at risk of facing food insecurity.
​especially during non-school periods.
​The Boerne Community Coalition LOVE Boerne Kids program steps in during non-school periods to help fill the gap. For just $15/week (or $165 for the summer)
you can provide weekday lunch and weekend
​meal bags to a local child in need.

ANNOUNCEMENTS & CURRENT EVENTS

JONES FAMILY LIGHTS OF HOPE

The Jones' family has set up a "Lights of Hope" display at 208 Wollschlaeger Drive in Boerne on every night from 8:00-10:00 pm until Easter Sunday. 

They are raising money to benefit the Boerne Community Coalition (BCC) LOVE Boerne Kids summer lunch program.  Donations - cash, HEB, and/or Walmart gift cards - are being collected at the light display.  A GoFundMe account to benefit the BCC has also been setup by the Jones' family.
During the COVID-19 school closure, Boerne ISD is offering a drive-thru meal service for breakfast and lunch at two locations. 
The Boerne ISD drive-through meal service program will begin following the most recent guidance released by the Texas Education Agency (TEA) and the Texas Department of Agriculture (TDA) for accountability and program integrity.
  • Parents/Guardians may pick up meals only for students enrolled in Boerne ISD (the child does not have to be present to receive a meal).
  • Parents must provide student name and grade level for enrollment verification.
  • Boerne ISD does not qualify to provide meal deliveries at this time according to the Texas Department of Agriculture.
In an effort to encourage you to stay home, we are no longer accepting volunteers at this time. 

THANK YOU GVTC Foundation & Albany Engineered Composites!

The Boerne Community Coalition would like to thank the GVTC Foundation and Albany Engineered Composites for their recent donations.

The BCC assembles weekend food bags for children in the Kendall County Head Start program during the school year.  During non-school periods, we prepare nutritious lunches each weekday for children who are at risk of being hungry as well provide these children with weekend food bags. In addition we provide camp scholarships for these children so they can enjoy enrichment activities such as sports, gymnastics, art, theater and nature that they could not afford to participate in.

​We are grateful to both organizations for their generosity and community support.  Thank you for helping us LOVE Boerne Kids!
