After years of planning and challenges, the New Braunfels Food Bank broke ground and history on Tuesday with a housing unit for families in need.
New Braunfels and San Antonio Food Bank staff, local leaders and National Guard members celebrated breaking ground for the Apple Seeds Apartments, what organizers called one of the first food bank housing efforts in the nation. The housing complex will have 51 units for families with children under the age of 15.
