On Tuesday, May 5, local community organizations will participate in The Big Give SA!


 

It's South Central Texas' second annual giving day, and it's your chance to make a real impact.  Last year's event raised nearly 2.1 Million Dollars for local charities and we hope to make an even bigger impact this year.


 

To participate in San Antonio's 24-hour on-line giving event, please click the link: The Big Give SA. 

    

Transportation in the Alamo Region can be challenging for our Veterans.  If you know a Veteran in need of transportation, a new grant from the Texas Veterans Commission, in partnership with the Alamo Area Council of Governments (AACOG), may be able to help.

 

For more information, or to find out if you are eligible for transportation service, please call the Alamo Service Connection at (210) 477-3275 or visit the website at www.aacog.com/carv.

 

Looking for an easy way to find the information on Disability.gov? 
  
You can use the site's "Guide Me" tool on the homepage, choose from among the ten main topic areas listed at the top of every page, or simply put search words or phrases in the search field and then Click "Go".  Another fast and easy way to get answers to your disability related questions is by browsing through "Disability.gov's Guides to Information & Resources."


Motorists can help protect the environment by following four simple steps from the non-profit Car Care Council.  Follow a vehicle service schedule including steps like checking engine performance, keeping tires properly inflated, replacing air filters regularly, changing oil regularly and checking your gas cap.
