SPONSORED BY HEALTH 210 PRIMARY CARE CLINIC

Helping You Live Strong and Better

Health 210 isn’t your typical doctor’s office. This Boerne-based clinic takes a strength-first, prevention-focused approach to health—helping you feel better, age stronger, and live longer.

And right now, they’re stepping up for our community: Anyone affected by the flood can be seen same-day at their clinic. No hoops, no delays—just help when you need it.

They’re also collecting much-needed donations for those working in the field. Drop off items like sunscreen, bug spray, hydration packets, aloe, protein snacks, foot powder, and other relief essentials.

WHERE TO EAT & DRINK THIS WEEKEND TO SUPPORT FLOOD RELIEF

Local Spots Are Stepping up in a Big Way

This weekend, a dozen or so restaurants, cafes, breweries, and vineyards in Boerne and Comfort are donating a portion of their sales to support Hill Country flood recovery efforts.

That includes two of our partners — 28 Songs Brewhouse and Singing Water Vineyards — along with places like LaFours, Bakery Lorraine, and On the Grind Coffee, who are going all in for the cause.

If you're planning to eat out, consider picking a place where your dollars do double duty.

👉 See the full list of participating businesses and make your next bite count.

HELP COMFORT GET BACK ON ITS FEET

Support Local Businesses Just 15 Minutes Down the Road

Comfort’s been hit hard. But through the loss, local businesses have been quietly stepping up—serving meals, handing out supplies, and helping neighbors without asking for anything in return.

Now it’s our turn.

This weekend, make the short drive north and show up for the shops, diners, wineries, and service pros that never stopped showing up for their community. Buy a coffee. Tip big. Grab a gift card. Tell a friend.

Comfort gave from the heart. Let’s return the favor—one purchase, one thank you at a time. If you’re not sure where to start in Comfort, here are a few of our favorite spots:

• High’s Cafe for lunch

• Comfort Pizza for some of the best pizza in the Hill Country

• 8th Street Market for a really fun antique shopping experience and a great coffee shop and bakery inside

• Spotted Deer for good coffee and pastries

• Singing Water Vineyards for great wine and amazing views

• Shopping With Siobhain's Downright Comfort Antique Store

• Remedy Hall for a drink and pickleball

• America Reclaimed for high end decor

• Alamo Meat Market for meat, snacks, and more

We’ll be doing a new daytrip roundup video for Comfort soon and will share when it’s done. But for the time being, we hope you’ll make a visit!

SHOP THE HILL COUNTRY MILE FOR FLOOD RELIEF

What began as a lighthearted summer sale has turned into something much more meaningful.

This Friday through Sunday (July 11–13), shops along the Hill Country Mile will donate 10% of all sales to flood recovery efforts across the region. More than a dozen local retailers — from boutiques to restaurants to gift shops — are taking part.

Deals and discounts are still happening, but now every purchase you make will also help neighbors and first responders who need it most.
