The holidays can be financially stressful, even in a close-knit community like Boerne. No one should have to wonder where their next meal is coming from, which is why this comprehensive resource guide was created, to make help easier to find, access, and share.
If you or someone you know could use support, this list is an important resource, and a reminder that help is closer than you might think.
We don't have to tell you - it's dry here in Boerne. And when the rain finally comes, most of it runs off our roofs and driveways before we ever get the chance to use it. But it doesn’t have to be that way.
That’s where our partners at Hammer Next Level Excavation come in. This Boerne-based, family-run business designs and installs complete rainwater harvesting systems, tanks, and pump setups — plus trenching, dry well troubleshooting, and full prep for new builds.
It’s truly a family operation built on hard work, trust, and Hill Country grit. Call today: 210-846-4135. Click here to learn more!

It’s official: Bush’s Chicken near Champion High School has permanently closed. The signage has come down, and the doors are now shut — marking the end of another familiar Boerne business.
While no replacement has been announced yet, the closure leaves many locals wondering what could come next for the space. Thanks to Boerne Radio for confirming the news and sharing early photos as the changes unfolded.
If you’re looking for Christmas gifts your kids (or your sports-obsessed spouse) will actually be excited about, there’s a new spot in Fair Oaks you need to know about.
Prime Time Sports Cardz recently opened in the Napa Oaks Shopping Center, and it’s loaded with everything from classic baseball cards to modern hobby boxes, autographed memorabilia, Pokémon cards, and tons of stocking-stuffer-worthy finds.
There’s nothing more timeless than giving packs of cards — but this shop goes way beyond nostalgia. Whether your child is into Pokémon, your teen is into football or basketball, or you’ve got a collector in the family, you can knock out a big chunk of your holiday list in one stop.
