Important Updates Amid COVID-19
We thank you for your continuous support and understanding during this time. We will post any and all updates on this page, including delivery routes, hours of operation, menu changes (if any), and what our team is doing to ensure the safety of all staff and customers.
Below is our plan for the next two weeks. We will update any changes accordingly as new information develops.
OUR STAFF
Our staff is like family to us, and we are doing everything in our power to provide financial support and resources for them and their loved ones. We are doing everything possible to keep our staff financially afloat. Every time you shop from us, this contributes to the financial wellbeing of a local community member.
PREVENTION
We care about the safety of our staff and our customers. We are taking additional precaution in an effort to prevent potential spread of COVID-19. We are constantly disinfecting all areas in use, and ensuring that all items— previously handled— are wiped down right after use. This includes (but is not limited to): menus, pens, doors handles, register area.
OUR COMMUNITY
For nearly a decade, the Lockhart community has granted us the opportunity to serve homemade meals, employ a number of local community members, contribute to the local economy, and— above all— has welcomed us with open arms. We feel fortunate to serve this community, and therefore feel a civic duty to provide for this community during a moment of hardship.

COMMUNITY
Weekly, we serve hundreds of affordable, homemade meals to elderly, children, and families in our community whose daily source of nutrition may now be affected during this health crisis.
At this time, we have started a Peer-to-Peer Pay It Forward Initiative to help support families who are struggling financially, who are unable to buy groceries, or elders in our community who are currently unable to leave their homes.
How it works:
〰️You can make your donation by sending the chosen amount to @LaCanteraMx via Venmo.
〰️The amount collected in that account will be used to pay for meals in the Lockhart/central Texas area, intended especially for our elderly and families who are having financial hardships and cannot currently afford groceries.
〰️If you or someone you know is experiencing financial hardship, please tell them to call us at 512.668.4003 and request to have a meal through the Peer-to-Peer Pay It Forward Initiative. This option will be open when funds are available in the Venmo account.
〰️Please reach out with any questions via phone, email, or social media.
