Community Calendar

Getting ready for a new school year can be stressful for both parents and kids. To help ease the transition, Family Service is proud to host its 12th Annual Back to School Drive!

This initiative gives our San Antonio community a chance to come together and support local students by providing essential school supplies—helping families start the school year with confidence and excitement.

How You Can Help:

- Donate school supplies
- Host a supply drive at your workplace
- Volunteer to assemble school supply packages for students

Ensuring that our children are school-ready really takes a village of organizations. Together, we can make a difference!

And here’s the twist: It’s a Poker Run! Along the route, you’ll collect five playing cards at designated checkpoints. At the finish line, the participant with the best poker hand wins a prize! It’s not just about speed—it’s about luck, fun, and showing up for a great cause.

Whether you run, walk, or jog—every step (and every card) makes a difference.
