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.

Retiring Greater New Braunfels Chamber of Commerce President and CEO Michael Meek was honored Friday night for his civic service as the Chamber announced him the winner of the Besserung Award, often referred to as the New Braunfels outstanding citizen award.
Community and business leaders gathered to hear the announcement during the Chamberâs 102nd annual banquet and awards ceremony at the New Braunfels Civic/Convention Center.
The name of the winner was kept secret until the moment of the announcement. For the first time in Meekâs tenure as Chamber president and CEO, he did not know the real recipient. With the help of a few clued-in staff and executive board members, the honor came as a complete surprise to Meek.
