Hill County Kids is a program designed to feed the school age children of Hill County on the weekends, when school lunch programs are not available to them. We began serving the students in 2010. We found out that up to 83% of Hillsboro’s school children were relying on the free or reduced cost lunch program offered in our schools. With the beginning of the 2021-2022 school year, HISD is now providing lunches for all students at no cost, but we know that many of these children do not have sufficient food accessible to them on the weekends. Hillsboro ISD and it’s Superintendent and Counselors helped identify the children most in need of assistance. Their identity is not released to us. We put together a low cost “kid friendly” menu, and the “snack pack” bags are delivered to the schools by volunteers and then distributed by the school counselors to the students. We currently serve an average of 200 Hillsboro students in Head Start through Junior High. The program has now been extended to include Bynum School, and our eventual goal is to serve all of Hill County. You can help by donating time or money to our program.

Our Mission

Our mission statement is “Feeding hungry Hill County Kids, one child at a time.” Our founders were made aware that many children, for one reason or another, may not have easy access to food on the weekends, when they are not in school. Our goal is to make sure that those kids have food that they can call their own, and that they can eat without someone needing to prepare food. Our food sacks include several different kinds os snack foods and simple meals that a child can open and serve themselves.

Where we are located

We are currently located in the Children’s Education Building at Church on the Hill in Hillsboro, Texas. 2000 Old Brandon Road. Our goal is to have our own building soon.
