BOERNE – Restaurants in the Boerne area are being tested during the economic shutdown related to COVID-19, with many struggling to stay in business.
Even so, Brandon Fuller, a managing partner at the Dog and Pony Grill, said that part of their efforts are now focused on what they can do for the community.
While they continue to provide limited services, they have had to furlough employees. Fuller said they don’t know what their plan will be to stay afloat if restrictions continue for very long. In the meantime, they're trying to support nonprofits that have also been pushed to their limits during this crisis.
At Hill County Family Services, CEO Staci Almager said they are still able to serve the community, but that running short is a constant concern, according to Spectrum News.
"We are having calls on an hourly basis from individuals, to people filling out applications and leaving them in our mail slot," Almager said.
The nonprofit case management organization also runs a food pantry, and Almager said she is just happy they have been able to continue to keep their shelves stocked.
As of April 22, Texas reported 21,069 confirmed cases of the coronavirus, including 543 deaths. Kendall County has 14 confirmed cases of COVID-19.
