SECC Ends October 31 – Can you give $10 or $20 a month? |
Thank you to everyone who has donated to the A&M-San Antonio Foundation and other charities across San Antonio, Bexar County and the nation. Your support will strengthen communities and give a helping hand to those in need.
We’d like to ask if you can consider giving just a few dollars more. For $20 a month, you could provide clinical services to a homeless individual for a month, provide an accessibility ramp to a home, keep a family warm by providing utility assistance to the most vulnerable, provide diabetes medicine and treatment for 20 children, and so much more.
