Introducing:12 Days of a West End Christmas

New this year, UC-SA is providing 12 days of opportunities to give time, talents, or treasure during the 12 Days of a West End Christmas campaign. Beginning December 1 with 12 Adopt a Park Groups, start the countdown to Christmas by partnering with us to help fulfill our mission to "share the love of Jesus, strengthen relationships, engage individuals and families, and restore genuine community" in the West End of San Antonio.

All we want for Christmas is you. So make your list, check it twice, and let the spirit of giving permeate your Christmas season. We need your help to reach our goals of Healthy Kids, Healthy Families, Healthy Community. Here's a sneak peek to each of the 12 days:
