Snack Pak 4Kids

Snack Pak 4Kids is a non-profit organization created to provide weekend food supplements to students who are identified by their teachers as being food-insecure. They organization works through the school system to serve children on free/reduced meals program. Snack Paks of high-quality, nutritious, child-friendly food are sent home with children each Friday, creating food SECURITY for them over the weekend. Various community organizations partner with Snack Pak 4Kids to serve schools in the community. Currently Snack Pak 4Kids serves 15 schools in three San Antonio school districts.


Grace Church is partnering with Snack Pak 4Kids to serve children of Monroe May Elementary school in NISD. In our missional role, Grace purchases the food, packs about 300 snack paks each month, and delivers approximately 50 snack paks to Monroe May each week.

Taking It to the Streets

Taking It to the Streets is a ministry which serves our homeless brothers and sisters in downtown San Antonio. They gather every Saturday night to feed the hungry, clothe the naked, and befriend the lonely. About once-a-quarter, Grace Church provides the meal and goes downtown to serve it.


We bring kids, teens, adults, and families to serve. We have been partnering with Taking it to the Streets for five years. This is one of the best ways we have to put our Faith into action by heeding the call of Jesus to love our neighbor.


Taking It to the Streets serve meals in the parking lot of Church Under the Bridge. You can contact one of our Ti2TS coordinators, Zoila Martinez or Riva Heron, for more info. You can also find out when our next Ti2TS service event is by checking out our calendar page.

Monroe May Elementary

We also partner with Monroe May, the public school geographically closest to Grace Church. Our goal in partnering with the school is to support teachers and serve families. We work with the school counselor to identify needs that Grace can meet.

We do this in several ways:

  • Aug - back to school supply drive  (See Listing below)
  • Dec - Christmas angel tree project
  • Mar - donate and serve drinks at the school carnival
  • May - annual teachers' thank you luncheon


You can email our Monroe May Coordinator, Lisa DeHart, to find out how you can help serve children. And you can find out more about our next Monroe May service event on our calendar page.


We do not proselytize or evangelize at school functions or on school property. We aim to show people Jesus instead of merely talking about him.
