Schools and Programs We Curently SERVE!
 

What started as a small school project at Mount Sacred Heart School in the 1990’s, has grown into a year-round undertaking. It began when Fr. James Hubert asked the students of MSH to bring a wrapped gift to share with a needy child who may otherwise not receive a gift at Christmas time.

The legacy of Father James has survived and the program has expanded to many other schools, businesses and individuals participating to help the less fortunate. We are proud to serve families whose children are in schools such as Stonewall- Flanders, Columbia Heights, Adams and Gilbert Elementary as well as others in the San Antonio Independent School District and also Catholic Worker House, St. Vincent de Paul, the Daughters of Charity, American Sunrise and Communities in Schools of San Antonio.
It is with that spirit and his example of serving the poor, through his “Adopt A Needy Family” program, that we continue his legacy of touching those in need. As you formulate your additional giving this year, please consider our mission in helping as many families as possible throughout the coming years. As always, your gift is tax deductible.

Testimonials

“ As a member of the community of the daughters of Charity of St. Vincent de Paul, my ministry has been education of the needy. AANF offers me another opportunity to continue, personally, to serve families with needs. This ongoing project is worthy of my wholehearted support.” -Sister Lucretia

“My experiences with the beginnings of Adopt A Needy Family until present go back to the early 1990’s. The founder, Father James Hubert, C.I.C.M asked me to work with him in bringing Christmas gifts to needy children in the school where I was employed as a school counselor. Over the years, hundreds of families have received assistance with their basic needs through this ministry. I was fortunate to work side by side with Father James for many years fulfilling Christ's message: ‘Whatever you do to the least of my brothers, you do unto me.’ The legacy given to each person through ministry is truly a gift of God to His people. Through the years of inspiration by Father James, I believe Christ is calling me to continue to work with the poorest of the poor. Adopt A Needy Family is a wonderful means to touch the poor, bring Christ’s presence to others, giving them hope to embrace God’s love for them.”

“I am currently serving as a board member for Adopt A Needy Family (AANF). I decided to participate as a board member because I was familiar with how Father James assisted so many families in need through this program. I wanted to be a part of helping this program continue as he would have had he been present today. Children are not able to apply themselves for their future when they lack the basic needs. AANF provides help for these families, but also expects them to see them create some forms of empowerment as their responsibility.”
