Join us as we serve dinner and love every Saturday night from 724 Chestnut Street in downtown San Antonio to our less fortunate brothers & sisters.

Taking it to the Streets ministers to the homeless and impoverished of San Antonio and the Hill Country by serving meals, distributing clothing and other basic necessities, and building God-honoring relationships with those we serve.

We start at 5:45 pm and finish up at 8:00 pm every Saturday Night.

*At this time we are still serving Covid style. We prepare the plates in the parking lot of Church Under The Bridge and pass them out at the gate along with snack bags and drinks.

We set up tables in the parking lot to serve our guests restaurant style. Come share your talents.

Feel free to come any Saturday. We need help setting up, making the plates, serving the plates, passing out drinks, making peanut butter & jelly sandwiches, cleaning up, etc.. Or if there is anything special you would like to offer our less fortunate and homeless please feel free to let us know. We have volunteers bring snack packs, and hygiene bags, play music, paint nails, bring dog food, or just sit and talk with our brothers & sisters, Just sharing your time with them means the world to them.
Whatever is in your heart or comfortable with is very much appreciated!
Just park along the side street Hays, we set up the parking lot with picnic tables and serve restaurant-style.
Please bring any forms to sign if you are wanting community hours.
