OUR VOLUNTEERS

The heart of our organization is our volunteers.  TOGETHER WE CAN accomplish more than we could ever do individually.  We have volunteer opportunities for all ages and skill levels.  And youth volunteers can earn service hours!
SUMMER LUNCH PREP
June 3rd - August 13th
​Monday - Friday from 9:30 to 11:00 am
Omega Retreat Center in the Sophia Building, Room 5
316 W Highland Drive, Boerne 78006
Join the BCC as we prepare nutritious lunches each weekday this summer for children who are at risk of being hungry.  During regular school days, these children receive meals through the Federal Meal Program.  During non-school periods, like summer, when these meals are not provided, nutritious meals may not be an option.  Each day we will prepare lunches and deliver them to various locations in Boerne.
  • Team Leader - You must be a Certified Food Handler to sign up for the Team Leader slot.  Team Leaders need to arrive by 9:15 am and stay after to clean up.  Note that as a Team Leader your primary role will be to supervise the lunch prep process.
  • Lunch Prep & Delivery - These volunteers will prepare the sandwiches and snacks for the sack lunches.  The Lunch Prep & Delivery volunteers will also deliver lunches to 1-2 locations in the Boerne area.  Children of all ages are welcome to come along with parents and help.  Please only sign up children ages 10+ for a volunteer slot.  Youth volunteers can always earn service hours.

Walmart in Boerne
​1381 S Main Street, Boerne 78006
Help the BCC collect food donations for children at risk of being hungry in our community.  Throughout the school year, this food is used in our weekly Hearts of Love Weekend Food Bags provided to the preschool children in the Kendall County Head Start program.  During the summer and school breaks, the bags are delivered to eligible children enrolled in partner camps and programs.  It’s a great opportunity to serve with your children and have them serve other children.  Youth volunteers can also earn service hours for school!

Donation stations will be set up at each store entrance/exit to collect food donations from shoppers.

Volunteers will provide shoppers with BCC flyers and shopping lists as they enter the store and collect the donated items as they exit.
