Volunteering with AMSA

 The Corazon Clinic started in 2000 with one medical doctor, a notebook, a couple of patients, and a box of first aid supplies and medications. In 2014, the clinic averaged 30 volunteers, and 1,289 patients signed-in. The notebook has turned into patient charts, and the box of first aid supplies has turned to drawers and shelves of donated supplies. The clinics volunteers range from pre-health profession, to graduate students, to health professionals. Corazon Clinic's mission is to provide healthcare services and education to those without access to standard medical services. The clinic strive to increase the quality of life for our patients. 

The work of the Bexar Area Harm Reduction Coalition involves harm reduction efforts, outreach, and education to prevent the transmission of blood-borne diseases among vulnerable populations. By providing essential harm reduction kits, we aim to support and improve the overall well-being of the community.

Harm reduction kits provided contain essential items, including:

• syringes
• a cooker
• bandaids
• alcohol swabs
• a cotton
• condoms
• informative materials promoting safer practices
• referral card to agencies in San Antonio

Another version of the kit is tailored to the specific needs of diabetics.

Brain Exercise Initiative is a nonprofit volunteering organization that trains volunteers in leading math, reading, and writing exercises in nursing homes to those with or without dementia. 

 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.
