Here's what's happened over the last month at San Antonio Rescue Mission
We have had great meals prepared by Chefs Priscilla and Adam as well as outstanding volunteers who have donated seven nightly meals over the last month. Our volunteer meal donors include the Adams family, Raul Aguilar, Errick Senecal, Hot Plate Project, Trinity Baptist Church (twice) and Woodland Church.
The Adams provided chicken broccoli rice casserole; Raul Aguilar with Among the Broken gave the men hamburgers and hot dogs; Errick Senecal gave us yummy BBQ chicken; Hot Plate Project provided chili mac and cheese; Trinity Baptist Church Missions Team brought turkey and trimmings, as well as breakfast food of eggs, biscuits and gravy; and Woodland Church gave the men delicious lasagna.
The Center for Health Care Services PATH project outreach specialists have visited three times. PATH stands for Project for Assistance in Transition from Homelessness. These folks are helping our men with services that SARM does not provide such as mental health counseling, treatment for substance abuse or even referrals for housing. These steps can help the men start to transition out of their homelessness.
Pete Gaitan, our Monday night preacher, was interviewed for our web page Preacher's Corner. Read about Pete's literal heart for God. Kevin Steele, a pastor at LifePoint Church, preached for the first time. Errick Senecal invited him on the night he provided BBQ chicken.
Musically Fed, a nation-wide organization that takes unused backstage meals and donates them to local charities, donated a lot of food after a local concert two nights in a row. We may be starting a new collaboration with them!

Thanks to everyone who came to SARM and donated food or a meal, or to preach the Word.
Most importantly, thank you for your time and support of SARM!

Here's what's happened over the last month at San Antonio Rescue Mission
We hosted about 20 of our nightly preachers at a BBQ at the Mission on Sat. June 20. It was an awesome time of fellowship for preachers to meet each other and eat the yummy BBQ chicken and sausage prepared by Priscilla and Adam. We have had eight donated meals this month which is more than ever! In fact, all Monday night meals are now covered! Our goal is to have a donated meal every night of the month so you can help with that! Talk to your church friends and family!
A new donor named Errick provided Mesquite-smoked pork roast one night. Our new Monday night cook named Enoch is preparing such meals as spicy orange chicken and brisket chili-bean nachos. Another family, the Adams, are donating food monthly and even hosted a neighborhood clothing drive!
We have two new webpages - Our Stories and Preacher's Corner. The first page gives backstory about how our homeless guests became homeless. One of these guests is named Petey. Our Preacher's Corner page highlights one of our faithful weekly preachers, Mario Martinez with Faith Bible Church who is in charge of the Thursday night chapel service. Check these pages out!
Our regular meal donors from Woodland Church (2nd Friday) and Trinity Baptist Church (Mondays) continue to provide delicious meals. Thanks for their faithfulness and encouragement to the men.
