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!

Love Boerne Families, a program of the Boerne Community Coalition, in partnership with Kendall County Head Start and the Patrick Heath Public Library, hosts a monthly dinner for preschoolers attending the Head Start program and their families.  We ask businesses, churches, and/or individuals to sign up to provide a portion of the meal.  The families enjoy wonderful, home-cooked meals together.  All dinners include literacy for the children and parent support programming for the adults.

Please drop off prepared food items at Head Start between 4:30-5:00 pm.  We will let you know which room to drop off the food once the dinner details have been finalized.

All serving dishes should be disposable containers.  You do not need to provide serving utensils.

KIDS CAN AFTER SCHOOL PROGRAM
Mondays & Thursdays from 3:10 to 5:30 pm
St. Mark Presbyterian Church in the Family Life Building
​208 W Bandera Road, Boerne 78006
In partnership with St. Mark Presbyterian Church, Fabra Elementary School, and the Boerne Community Coalition, the KIDS CAN After School Program provides qualifying students an hour of one-on-one homework help, healthy snacks, and chapel time.

Volunteers are needed in multiple areas; you may sign up for both Transition and Homework Help.

Consistency is important for children.  If you're able to volunteer on a regular basis, that would be ideal.

​High School and Middle School students can volunteer and will help as needed with homework or other activities.  Come when you can after school.  All student volunteers will earn service hours.

WALMART FILL THE CART FOOD DRIVE
Saturday, October 26th from 10:00 am to 2:00 pm
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.

​Please sign up today!
