can share their faith with others. - Helping young people develop the skills, assets and
attitudes to reach their full God-given potential. - Encouraging kids to live connected to the Body of Christ by

For the safety of our clients and employees, the Good Sam campus is only partially open. Some services are still being offered via telephone and video conferencing. Please call for information - (210) 434-5531.
The center serves seniors living on San Antonio’s west side with programs including health and nutrition classes, dance therapy sessions, and arts and crafts activities.
The Senior Center offers hot, nutritious lunches daily as part of its nutrition program.
Free health screenings are regularly available through a partnership with the University of Texas Health Science Center San Antonio.
Throughout the year, the Senior Center also hosts various holiday and cultural celebrations.
For many seniors living in the surrounding community, Good Sam fulfills a vital need, reducing social isolation and improving their quality of life.
(Senior Services is a program of Good Sam's Family Development Services.)

COVID-19 Notice
Both Grace Place locations and our other senior center distribution points are closed, but we continue to deliver meals to our mostly elderly, high-risk clients at their homes. We also check on their safety during this time.
Meals will be delivered Monday-Thursday. Meals will not be delivered on Fridays as we work to minimize interactions for everyone's safety.
Potential new clients are screened over the phone and put on meal service as quickly as possible.

Comfy Casas provides minor home repairs and various home appliances to low income seniors and disabled adults. Client referrals come from intake assessment coordinators, volunteers and paid delivery drivers. These essential visits enable us to identify and address the clients' home safety needs. The coordinator conducts an initial walk-through in person or over the phone in order to discuss much-needed repairs with the client. Minor home projects may be completed by volunteers. Projects beyond the scope of this service are referred to other organizations.
One of the easiest things we can do is make sure the temperature in our clients' homes is seasonally appropriate. So that means providing ACs and heaters to ensure our clients stay cool in the summer and warm in the winter. In 2020, we have helped 449 senior neighbors age comfortably and safely in their homes!
**We are unable to accommodate major home repairs and electrical repairs.**
To receive services from Comfy Casas:
- You must be receiving meals from Meals on Wheels San Antonio
- Minor home repairs require the client to be the homeowner and reside in Bexar County
Free box fans are provided to senior citizens in an effort to provide heat relief and prevent heat-related illness during the hot summer months, please call the United Way Helpline at 211.
Services for Seniors only.
