Why SAAM?
Many churches in South Austin share a common mission to help people in need in our community. The appeals for help that exist in our community, however, are often overwhelming to any one of our churches. Most of our congregations have limited resources for providing the screenings, assessments, financial assistance, and case management services to persons, families, and households seeking emergency assistance with rent or mortgage, food, utilities, and prescriptions. Since January of 2000, a number of churches in South Austin have combined our charitable resources and formed a partnership with our Travis County Government to provide clothing, shelter, and prescription assistance to people in need who have come to one of our churches seeking help.
