"Every year in San Antonio and South Texas, home fires are the single most common disaster threat," said Mike Bennett, CEO, San Antonio Area Chapter, "and for a family that has lost everything, a home fire is just as devastating as a major tornado or hurricane."
Nearly 4-5 times a week, the San Antonio Area Chapter provides fire victims with assistance for food, clothing, prescriptions, temporary shelter and other special needs an affected family may have.This relief is made possible by generous donations from people throughout San Antonio and its 21 surrounding counties.
"The San Antonio Area Chapter would greatly appreciate donations from people in South Texas to support our ongoing disaster relief efforts in our community," said Bennett.
