Welcome

Helping Hands is Hill Country Homeowners philanthropy and outreach program. Every season we select a worthy organization and use our business and homeowner resources to give back and make a difference in our community.  
 
For the month of November we helped SAMMinistries Recipe in A Pot.  Recipe in a pot benefits those who are transitioning from homelessness.  Pick your favorite one-pot, or one-pan dish and provide all the non-perishable materials a family would need to prepare that meal.  Everything from salt and a can of diced tomatoes, to a knife, spatula, and baking pan.  Include a gift card for non-perishables if needed.  Our team sponsored 6 families in November.  https://www.samm.org/recipe-in-a-pot/

 

For the month of December we are collecting donations for the SAPD Blue Santa toy drive.  As night fell on Christmas Eve 1976, San Antonio police officer, Tom Preston and his fellow officers began what would become another warm tradition of giving in our city. Preston knew of several families who could not afford toys under their tree. That is, if they had a tree at all.  With their own money, they purchased and distributed toys to underprivileged boys and girls who would not soon forget the day a police officer became their personal Santa. Years later, as the project drew the interest of more and more officers, someone suggested that Preston dress up as Santa himself. A navy outfit was tailored and San Antonio's Blue Santa was born!  Find out more about Blue Santa at https://sapdbluesanta.org/our-story/.
