"Hill Country Samaritans seeks to unite people through Jesus' name to meet the needs of others within their own community." Our nonprofit organization is dedicated to improving the lives of those in need. We strive to create positive change in our community through various initiatives and programs.
The Back to School Bash project, covering students across Bandera county was the initial project of the Hill Country Samaritans. Currently the work continues throughout the year with the Lakehills Community Thanksgiving meal, HCS Community Christmas Choir, Walk Through Bethlehem, and more.

Donations to the Hill Country Samaritans (HCS) can be designated for one of our particular projects like school supplies, high school senior gifts, community needs, Walk Through Bethlehem, and community meals. If a donation is undesignated it may be used for anyone of these projects or for other aspects of the HCS mission such as activities at the Bash, food at an event or event prep, insurance, and volunteer support. Please see specific pages of this website for a few of HCS's particular fundraising goals.
