The Mobile Pantry program allows us to provide healthy food options to clients seeking food assistance that may live in food deserts.

It is also an opportunity for our partner agencies to bring a bigger yield of perishable and non-perishable food directly to clients.

On the day of the event, the Mobile Pantry comes filled with a variety of produce, frozen and refrigerated foods to provide supplemental assistance to qualified families and individuals. Each Mobile Pantry vehicle can comfortably provide 200 families with up to 50 pounds of food.

Act II Sewing is a group of ladies who meet on the third Tuesday of the month at 9:30 am to sew for a good cause.

Successfully Aging and Living in San Antonio is transforming our community by advancing practices and policies that improve the quality of life of older adults in Bexar County, especially those most vulnerable.

SALSA has aligned its work to that of the World Health Organization’s Eight Domains of Livability:

• Outdoor Spaces and Buildings
• Transportation
• Respect and Social Inclusion
• Housing and Built Environment

• Civic Participation and Employment
• Community Support and Health Services
• Social Participation

SALSA is a collective impact initiative. Collective impact describes an intentional way of working together and sharing information for the purpose of solving a complex problem. Proponents of collective impact believe that the approach is more likely to solve complex problems than if a single nonprofit were to approach the same problem(s) on its own.

SALSA participants are a combination of individuals and organizations, with representatives from the business community, local government, and the social sector. SALSA partners are working on issues of housing, transportation, socialization, engagement, health, and caregiver support.

In the immediate wake of the Green Beret’s death, we offer financial assistance to help ease the burden of the expenses the family may incur during this time.

Long term, we strive to maintain relationships with the family and communicate with the Special Forces Groups to identify any gaps we may be able to fill. We will always honor our fallen and support their families.
