Storm Recovery Update from The Salvation Army San Antonio.

We are grateful to report that power has been restored at our Area Command and shelter facilities, and everyone in our care remains safe, dry, and accounted for.

While our roof was destroyed and shelter rooms sustained water damage during the recent storms, our team is actively inspecting each room to assess the full extent of the damage and begin the clean-up and repair process. In the meantime, shelter residents have been comfortably relocated to a common area within our building. Our kitchen remains fully functional and operational, allowing us to continue providing meals and support without interruption.

Today, our canteen truck will be deployed into the community to distribute ready-to-eat meals to individuals and families who may have lost food during the power outage. If you or someone you know is in need of a meal, please watch our page for updates on distribution locations.

We are incredibly thankful for the outpouring of support from our community. A special thank you to the Texas Diaper Bank and the SAISD Foundation for their generous donations of new bedding and towels, and to RISE Church for donating sheets for our shelter residents. Your kindness is helping bring comfort, dignity, and hope to those we serve during this challenging time.

Today, we are ready to serve our community.

Thank you for your prayers, encouragement, and support as we continue serving our neighbors and helping our community recover.

🙏❤️ Serving Our Community with Love

The Salvation Army San Antonio Area Command was blessed to be invited to participate in the San Antonio Spurs Annual Back-to-School Bash! 🏀🎒

It was a joy to welcome families, share smiles, and serve our community by providing free bottles of water to help keep everyone hydrated during this special event. 💧

At The Salvation Army, we believe that serving others is an opportunity to put our faith into action. We are grateful for every opportunity God gives us to show His love through kindness, compassion, and service.
We pray for all the students, parents, teachers, and families preparing for the new school year. May God bless each of you with a safe, successful, and joy-filled year ahead! 📚✏️

A heartfelt thank you to the San Antonio Spurs for inviting us to be part of this wonderful day and for helping bring our community together.

🌟 Talent Takes Center Stage at the Red Shield Youth Center! 🌟

Our Red Shield Youth Center was filled with excitement as children had the opportunity to showcase their talents during a special talent show!

We are so proud of every child who stepped out of their comfort zone to share their unique gifts with family, friends, staff, and supporters. Events like these help build self-esteem, encourage personal growth, and remind our youth that they are capable of amazing things.

Congratulations to all of our talented participants for making this event such a memorable success! ❤️👏

🎒☀️ What a fun day at the Red Shield Youth Center!

A huge thank you to the Catch 22 Foundation for sponsoring yesterday's Back-to-School Bash! Families enjoyed bounce houses, face painting, pizza, and plenty of fun, while 100 local children received backpacks filled with school supplies to help them start the school year ready to learn.

It was amazing to see so many families come together and take advantage of the resources and opportunities available at the Red Shield Youth Center. Events like this remind us what can happen when a community comes together to support its children. ❤️

Thank you, Catch 22 Foundation, for helping make a difference in the lives of local families and students. We are grateful for your partnership!
