School is officially back in session across San Antonio! 🎒✏️
But before the backpacks were packed and the first bells rang, Sheila had a job to do. ❤️

This summer, Sheila, one of our most tenured clients, served as a camp counselor through Mission Road’s S.O.A.R. Program, and she understood that her role had a purpose: help our campers hold onto the skills they worked so hard to build, encourage them to be brave and confident, and remind them that they can advocate for themselves.

We’re pretty proud of Sheila. And we hope every one of our S.O.A.R. campers walked into school this year standing just a little taller. 💛 #
Here’s to a great school year, San Antonio! 📚

For some of our most vulnerable neighbors, a nonprofit can be the difference between having a safe place to live, or having nowhere to go.

Between a caregiver having support, or a family reaching a breaking point.
Between isolation and having a community that says, “You belong here.” ❤️

That is why nonprofits matter.

Our home in San Antonio, we are BLESSED with an incredible community of organizations serving our shared populations of individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities and their families: The Arc of San Antonio, Brighton Center, Respite Care of San Antonio, Morgan’s, SA Life Academy, Any Baby Can, Reaching Maximum Independence, Down Syndrome Association of South Texas, Spurs Give, Special Olympics Texas, Special Reach, Eva’s Heroes, United Way, and SO MANY OTHERS.

Together, we provide housing. Respite. Employment. Education. Advocacy. Resources.

Most importantly, we create BELONGING.

None of us can do this work alone. It takes nonprofits, families, caregivers, volunteers, donors, businesses and community partners showing up for one another and saying: “We’ve got you.”

So before we nearly let get away from us 😅 (because we're all human and wear multiple hats!), we want to say how grateful we are to be part of this community and this work.

Because every person deserves the opportunity to live a life of dignity, purpose, independence, connection and belonging.

“Though there are many of us, we are one body in Christ, and individually we belong to each other.” — Romans 12:5

Our SOAR Summer Camp ended the best way we know how... with a dance party! 🕺💙

Six weeks. New friendships. Endless smiles. Lasting memories. And a little extra respite for families who deserve it most.

Until next summer, SOAR! ☀️✨

Happy Disability Independence Day!!!!

Let’s celebrate the joy of inclusion one splash at a time! Every person deserves the opportunity to live, laugh, and thrive. 💙

It’s a season of growth! The incredible team at Mission Road's Unicorn Center planted seeds that blossomed into tremendous impact for our shared community!

Together with Trinity UMC, we harvested more than 600 pounds of fresh vegetables, primarily squash and tomatoes! While the summer heat will soon bring this season to a close, the impact of this harvest has nourished fellow community organizations!

Fresh produce found its way to:
🍅 Families at Magdalena House fleeing domestic violence
🥒 Neighbors served through Arbutus Place in the Glen Oaks community
🥬 Families connected with the Center for Refugee Services
🌿 A community of Carmelite Sisters
❤️ Students supported through Travis Park Church's new assistance program
🏡 And, of course, the individuals, staff, and families of Mission Road's Unicorn Center

Every tomato picked and every squash harvested represents purpose, inclusion, independence, and the joy of giving back. We're incredibly proud of our Mission Road gardeners for cultivating a thriving garden, but also a healthier, stronger San Antonio community.

Rainy days are better with friends, popcorn, and a trip to the movies! 🍿❤️

Mission Moment:
This past Saturday, our Mission Road family enjoyed a special outing to see Toy Story 5 at Santikos. Despite the rainy weather, our theater was full as our clients and staff came together for an afternoon of laughter and connection. Movies really do bring people together!

While these photos don't capture everyone who joined us (we were busy coordinating arrivals, helping individuals get settled, and making sure everyone had a wonderful experience!), they do capture the joy of the day.

One moment that made us especially proud was seeing Max, a participant in our Supported Employment program, working as a Santikos team member. After the movie, Max jumped right into work by helping tidy the theater with a smile. We're so proud to celebrate people like Max, whose employment is a testament to what opportunity and support can achieve.

Thank you to everyone who helped make this rainy Saturday such a memorable one. Moments like these remind us that community, inclusion, and independence are worth celebrating every day. 💙

🇺🇸 Every voice has a story.
To honor Tonya’s privacy and follow her care plan, her face isn’t shown, but with permission, we’re grateful to share her beautiful rendition of Amazing Grace.
Take a moment to listen. ❤️🤍💙 Happy Fourth of July from all of us at Mission Road Ministries!

We know our dear Gracie the Giraffe has been found and returning home, however, if she was found at Mission Road, a $5,000 award can stand tall in impact for our mission! 🦒💙

A gift of $5,000 can help provide:
• Days of therapeutic and enrichment activities and outings for children and adults with IDD
• Specialized supplies and adaptive materials that support learning and independence
• Transportation support so individuals can access programs, work, and community outings
• Direct care hours that ensure safety, dignity, and individualized attention

Every dollar helps create opportunities where someone is seen and valued.

Seeing Gracie the Giraffe out and about in the San Antonio community and Texas Hill Country was a reminder that joy and play show up in everyday moments...from SOAR Camp children's laughter to adults building life skills and independence year-round!

Every gift helps someone in need stand a little taller in their confidence and independence!
