Right now, many of our neighbors are out of work and household finances are getting tougher all the time. We wanted to inform you about local organizations that are offering help with basic needs like food, clothing and other goods.

Last Saturday, Hill Country Family Services and the San Antonio Food Bank got together to offer a food distribution at Champion High School In Boerne. They were able to distribute food for about 500 homes:



But some folks didn't find out about this distribution until after it was over. Fortunately some of those who picked up food also shared with other neighbors, so those food supplies certainly reached many more homes.

If you know of neighbors who have needs right now, we recommend that they get in touch with the following charitable organizations that offer help with basic needs like food, clothes and other goods, and can let them know about upcoming distributions and other programs:
