NEW BRAUNFELS, Texas (March 18, 2026) – New Braunfels Utilities
(NBU), in partnership with Communities in Schools of South Central Texas
(CIS), is launching the second annual KinderKraft donation drive, benefiting
New Braunfels-area students in need of basic supplies and personal
items.

Following a successful inaugural campaign that collected nearly
900 donated items for local students, the KinderKraft initiative continues to
bring together NBU employees, customers and community members to support
families across the New Braunfels area.

Donations will be accepted March 23 through May 1, 2026, at
designated locations throughout the community. KinderKraft seeks donations
for school supplies, personal hygiene products, clothing and non-perishable
snacks. Only new and unopened items will be accepted.

“KinderKraft reflects the incredible power of our community
coming together to support local students,” said Nicole Wesley, NBU
Community Engagement Manager. “Last year’s response showed just how much
our community cares. Every donated item represents support, encouragement and
opportunity for students who need it most.”

Donations will be collected at: Cranky Pickle – 624 Krueger
Canyon; Communities in Schools – 430 West Mill St., Suite 100; Das Rec – 345
Landa St.; Frost Bank – 315 Landa St.; Headwaters at the Comal – 333 E.
