Come make a "deposit" in both the food bank and the blood bank. The San Antonio Food Bankand the South Texas Blood and Tissue Center will have vehicles parked by the SAAPAC headquarters.
If you would like to donate blood, please contact us at alamobama09@aol.comto get scheduled. We need at least 20 donors scheduled by June 16 to make the mobile unit visit possible, so please act now!
