Mission Statement
For 48 years, CAM has served as a vital lifeline in San Antonio—supporting more than 70,000 vulnerable individuals each year. Much like an emergency room for social services, CAM provides immediate, essential assistance such as food, clothing, prescriptions, utility support, psychiatric help, and housing navigation. Our mission is simple but urgent: to meet people at their point of need and help them move toward stability. We feed hope, restore dignity, and uplift our community.
