San Antonio Metropolitan Ministries (SAMM)
On any given night in San Antonio there will be several thousand people without a place to call home. SAMM exists to help these people. Jesus said we could help the poor whenever we wanted to. SAMM is one means of helping. The overnight shelter is not the only ministry of SAMM. Through its Transitional Life and Learning Center SAMM helps people to rebuild their lives in lasting ways. SAMM is now on the Haven For Hope campus. There it provides services alongside dozens of other helping agencies. Opportunities for you to help the poor abound at SAMM and Haven.

Serving Opportunities Outside the Church
'For I was hungry and you gave me something to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink, I was a stranger and you invited me in, I needed clothes and you clothed me, I was sick and you looked after me, I was in prison and you came to visit me.'
"Then the righteous will answer him, 'Lord, when did we see you hungry and feed you, or thirsty and give you something to drink? When did we see you a stranger and invite you in, or needing clothes and clothe you? When did we see you sick or in prison, and go to visit you?'
"The King will reply, 'I tell you the truth, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers of mine, you did for me.'
Jesus, in Matthew 25:35-40

Haven For Hope
One of the problems for homeless folks and others with needs in many metropolitan areas is that the services they need are scattered all over the city. Haven For Hope brings together dozens of helping agencies on one campus. Here, people loved by Jesus can find help for medical, dental and vision needs, food, clothes and shelter, as well as job training and other assistance. There are lots of opportunities for volunteers at Haven’s variety of ministries.

Austin Academy Elementary
This inner city elementary school is just down the street from Central. We have a long and loving relationship with the students and staff there. Each year we host a Christmas party for kids from Austin. We buy presents through our Angel tree for these kids when their families otherwise could not. We also have a long-standing Mentoring Program with kids at the school. Adults from Central become friends and encouragers to kids from Austin Academy. Could you be a mentor?

Christian Assistance Ministry (CAM)
CAM exists to fulfill the expectation of Jesus stated in Matthew 25 that the church will help “the least of these”. When people need help with food, clothing or limited financial assistance CAM can be their answer. There are many volunteer opportunities at CAM. Volunteers work to sort clothes, fill food baskets or interview folks in need, and just be a friendly listening ear. If you feel called to help people in need then come to CAM.
