The Morning Impact — your neighborhood's most important stories, delivered every morning.
A local Hill Country nonprofit just got a big upgrade with the addition of a brand new building in the Boerne area.
The full story
Hill Country Daily Bread Ministries unveiled a new 8,000 square foot multipurpose building, called the Vision Center, in July.
The new facility is being used for activities like youth education programs, community volunteering events, training for clients and volunteers and food drives, according to the nonprofit’s website.
“The Vision Center allows us to expand our reach, strengthen partnerships, and invite more people to walk alongside us in serving families who need hope,” Agnes Hubbard, the co-founder and executive director of Hill Country Daily Bread Ministries, said in an email.
Additionally, the building has a new commercial kitchen, which will aid in providing a “vital hub for ministry, collaboration and community impact,” a statement from the nonprofit said.
Residents can schedule tours of the new Vision Center, sign up for volunteer opportunities and more by visiting the nonprofit’s website.
About the program
Communications Director Debi Watson told Community Impact that a summer youth program has already been held in the new space, called the Summer Leadership Academy.
The program is a seven-week, faith-based experience where students learn important life skills like leadership, integrity and more, Watson said.
The nonprofit provides several other outreach programs to residents in the Hill Country aside from education, mostly geared toward fighting poverty and aiding those affected by severe storms and natural disasters.
They include community mobilization efforts during natural disasters, food drives, student mentorship programs and partnerships with church organizations across the region, according to the website.
“Every box of food, every mentoring session, every prayer offered here is a tangible act of love for our neighbors,” Hubbard said.

Aside from residents in Boerne and Kendall County, those in Medina, Comal, Bexar, Kerr, Bandera, Gillespie and Uvalde counties are served by Hill Country Daily Bread.
In total, over 82,000 individuals in Central Texas benefit from the nonprofit’s mission annually, according to the organization’s impact statistics.
