How to get food and utility bill help in Comal County

The Food Bank also offers help screening for and applying for SNAP and other benefits. Its Get Help page has a referral form for that service. A household waiting on a SNAP application can still use the food distribution search or call Client Services about available food.

CCSCT says household yearly income must be at or below 150% of the federal poverty guidelines; it counts gross income from the last 30 days. Its 2026 application page provides English and Spanish forms, plus an additional household-member page when needed. Complete and sign the application, assemble the required documents, and contact the local Community Services office to schedule an appointment. CCSCT says incomplete applications will not be processed.

Distribution availability and registration requirements depend on the selected Food Bank listing. CCSCT says submitting an application does not guarantee assistance.

For the CCSCT application, gather Social Security cards for household members; proof of citizenship and identity for each person; and proof of income from the past 30 days for each household member 18 or older who works or receives assistance. An adult with no income must complete a Declaration of Income Statement. CCSCT also requests a 12-month billing history from each electric, natural gas or propane provider, or as many months as available if the household has lived there less than a year, along with current and past-due electric bills and any applicable disconnection notice. The application page lists acceptable identity and citizenship documents and says to contact the local office about alternatives if needed.

For Comal County households, CCSCT lists a New Braunfels office at 111 W. San Antonio St., Suite 210-3, and (830) 625-6268 for the application appointment. Call after completing the form and gathering the documents; CCSCT says a missed appointment or missing required documents will require rescheduling. Its page also says households with the least income and greatest energy costs receive priority, as do people 60 or older, people with disabilities and families with children age five or younger.

Before making a trip, check the Food Bank’s live distribution search for a nearby opening, or call its Client Services line. For bill assistance, use CCSCT’s 2026 application page to check the current forms and document list, then call the Comal office about an appointment and funding status. CCSCT advises applicants to continue paying their bills on time while their applications are considered.
