WHO WE ARE
The Boerne Community Coalition is a collaborative group of local non-profit agencies, civic organizations, churches, businesses, city government, and individuals who came together in 2015 with the initial plan of helping children who are on the Federal Meal Program during the school year by feeding them lunch during the summer when those meals are no longer available.
WHAT WE’VE DONE
Since the Summer of 2015, with a dedicated team of approximately 100 volunteers, we prepared and delivered approximately 19,053 nutritious meals to children, who face food insecurity and are at-risk of being hungry. These meals include daily lunches during school breaks and weekend Hearts of LOVE Bags.
In addition, we've held 7 LOVE Boerne Neighborhoods Community Work days, working on 29 homes in need of critical repairs within our community.
These repairs helped improve the safety and livability of their homes.
WHAT WE HOPE TO DO
Today our focus is four-fold:
We are a 100% volunteer-based organization and to accomplish our goals, we need the support of our community - with volunteers and monetary donations.
