At Hill Country Community Ministries (HCCM), we understand that summer can bring added challenges for families with school-aged children. When school is out, many children lose access to the free or reduced-price meals they normally receive during the school day. To help bridge that gap, HCCM offers Second Helpings, a second food appointment available to our Full-Service clients with school-aged children.
Second Helpings provides additional groceries to help families stretch their food budget during the summer months. This program is designed to ensure children have access to nutritious food while they are home from school and to ease some of the financial pressure families may experience.
Eligible families can schedule a second food pantry visit each month in addition to their regular food appointment. The extra support allows parents and caregivers to focus on enjoying time with their children rather than worrying about where the next meal will come from.
At HCCM, our mission is to provide hope, help, and healing to our neighbors in need. Programs like Second Helpings are made possible through the generosity of our donors, volunteers, and community partners who help us ensure that no child goes hungry.
For more information about eligibility or to schedule an appointment, please call 512-259-0360 ext.201 or 202.
