San Antonio Partners in Service
About San Antonio Partners in Service
At San Antonio Partners in Service, adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities help assemble care packages for people who need them across San Antonio. That means lunches and water for patients and staff, hygiene kits and pantry basics for families, cold-weather backpacks for people living on the streets, and gifts for children and seniors. If you want to support giving that is both practical and personal, this is the kind of work that lands exactly where it should.
What sets this organization apart is who does the giving. Adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities are not just being served, they are hands-on contributors to the care packages that reach patients, families, children, seniors, and people experiencing homelessness. The result is a community effort with a very clear human center.
