Excel Beyond the Bell San Antonio began in 2012 as a professional network to develop and ensure standards for five-star youth development programs and to ensure young people in Bexar County have access to the developmental relationships they need to succeed.

Data provided to the network from local school districts helps all partners better understand young people in their organizations and it empowers youth development leaders to not just anecdotally know why developmental relationships are important — it provides them with evidence on which to base organizational decisions.

When SNIPSA launched its Big Fix clinics in May 2009, more than 100 animals were being euthanized every day in San Antonio. We knew that more sterilized pets in our city would result in fewer entering shelters and fewer being euthanized.

SNIPSA holds day-long Big Fix clinics, in partnership with churches and community centers, in neighborhoods where the largest numbers of stray and un-owned animals roam the streets. To-date we have sterilized over 19,500 dogs and cats in 50 Big Fix clinics.

Big Fix clinics also save taxpayer dollars. It costs roughly $15,000 to host a Big Fix clinic, which is a smart investment considering that it would costs taxpayers almost 10 times that amount to impound, house, and ultimately euthanize the nearly 400 animals that are sterilized at a typical Big Fix clinic.

SNIPSA depends on grants and private donations to host its Big Fix clinics. Click here to help sponsor our next Big Fix clinic or here for other donation options.

Daily Bread, as a Christ-centered organization, desires to help partners assist their communities in defeating poverty through God’s work. In addition to our weekly food distribution to our ministry partners, Daily Bread equips those partners with resources and training to address the root cause of poverty. Daily Bread focuses on addressing the defined root cause of poverty: broken relationships.

We do this by helping our partners help their communities mend their connections with God, other people, self, and creation.

We usually support other agencies with volunteers, equipment, and financial aid. Mission Presbytery also hosts/houses volunteers who respond to an area after a disaster.

A Food Fair is a San Antonio Food Bank (SAFB) program that provides large quantities of perishable and non-perishable food items (and more) to qualified individuals and families.

Heart Healthy Families is a national outreach and education program developed by CRW and Associates, LLC to promote health care awareness to entire families and the community.

Our goal is to affect positive behavioral change through information, education, and linkages to resources.

Program objectives:

• Provide essential education and resources that address prevalent chronic conditions such as high cholesterol, hypertension (high blood pressure), stroke, diabetes, and cancer.
• Provide health education to vulnerable populations.
• Provide leadership and technical assistance to church health ministries and community organizations.
• Build community capacity by developing culturally relevant programs that can be replicated and sustained in the community.
• Empower and educate community members to become health advocates
• Create coalitions and partnerships that link the faith and health community.

We also provide faith communities and nonprofit agencies with educational materials about Medicare, Medicaid, and CHIP to assist them with educating their neighbors and clients.

CRW supports faith communities, nonprofit agencies, and other organizations with their health and wellness programs.

No in-person services are offered at this location. Contact Olga Rodriguez for information.

This volunteer opportunity is a way for pastors to connect the heart of their congregation to the community, for teachers to show students how to give without expectations, for moms and dads to publicly demonstrate compassion to their children, and for youth pastors to teach mercy, worship and prayer.

It’s not about feeding the poor; it’s about being a blessing to your neighbor. A bag of chips, some cheese crackers, a loaf of raisin bread, a plush toy and some candy won’t feed a needy family, but it can open a door to someone poor in spirit. Wealthy or destitute, we all can use prayer and someone to share our burdens with. A divorce, a wayward child, disease or financial needs can weigh heavily on someone behind closed doors. A "Bag of Blessing" can open that door and then a heartfelt prayer can bring hope and demonstrate that their neighbor does care.

For more information about the "Bag a Blessing" or if you are wanting to set one up, click here.

The foundation stone of our ministry was the concept of providing material support to other ministries so that they could utilize more of their finances, time and energy on ministering to those they are called to serve.

For instance, a ministry that houses and ministers to the homeless would need a building, food, clothing, beds, etc., but their true ministry is to give encouragement and speak healing into the broken lives they serve. If they have to spend too much time or money collecting the material goods they need, they, in turn, neglect or spend less time ministering to the people.

Or a small church may want to reach out to their neighborhood, but because they are small they may lack the finances to purchase supplies to do so. If available, we would provide them resources without cost.

We have been gifted with the knowledge, experience, faith and anointing to realize that there are many resources that are often overlooked or cast aside by individuals or businesses that are valuable for ministry. It is this that guides our thinking when we are offered various donated goods.

One thing we do not do is search out items. We only have what God provides. The phone rings, we answer and usually, say, ”Yes!” We can do that based on our knowledge of the ministries we serve and their individual needs. Apart from that, a ministry may call needing a particular item and again because of past experience or the unction of the Holy Spirit we may give them direction as to where it may be found.

In over a decade, we have had many diverse items given to us, from semi-loads of new sinks and toilets, to buildings and homes, vehicles, and tons of food and clothing.

When we meet someone new, an individual, a ministry leader or a pastor, and we connect with them in heart, spirit, purpose and goals, it births a relationship. That relationship is about sharing resources, experience, knowledge, material goods and even other relationships, not necessarily equally but equitably. Then, through teamwork we learn how to serve one another, build up one another, communicate with one another, overcome differences, offenses, strengths and weaknesses. In the process, bonds of purpose and trust are formed and the network, the Kingdom of God, is expanded.
