A GREAT BIG THANK YOU to the CENTURIONS OF KENDALL COUNTY

The Centurions of Kendall County is a 501c3 charitable organization that consists of business and community leaders. The organization was created and exists for benevolent, charitable and educational purposes. Since its inception in 1985, it has contributed over $800,000 dollars to local charities and college scholarships. We are very grateful to have received a $6,000 donation to support our efforts to help and feed "food insecure" children in the community. We are so thankful to have such a caring, socially conscious group of businesses and leaders in our community!

THANK YOU KCA SERVICES for your wonderful donation!

It has always been important to KCA SERVICES to give back to the community that it supports.

We are so blessed and thankful to have KCA Services as a sponsor.  Their charitable $500 donation will go a long way to helping support our programs: LOVE Boerne Kids, LOVE Boerne Neighborhoods and LOVE Boerne Families.

Thank you to the JONE'S FAMILY for their LIGHTS OF HOPE display to benefit our LOVE Boerne Kids summer food program for children in the community who face food insecurity. Over $4,720 was raised through individual donations at the display and a GoFundMe account. We are extremely blessed to have the Jone's Family as a partner in our efforts to support "food insecure" children. They indeed help to Light the way!

BOERNE ISD MEAL SERVICE

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.
