Bread and Blankets Mutual Aid
Welcome to Bread and Blankets Mutual Aid located in San Antonio; el corazón de Tejas. Our goal is to serve primarily the needs of those who have been historically neglected, the houseless in underserved areas, through mutual aid and support by those who are willing to give supplies and time. We thank you for visiting and urge everyone to assist with the needs of their neighbors. - Familia Segura, volunteers
Nuestra Historia - Our History
Working in Anonymity, "Just doing what we do," a family and groups of volunteers has served the poorest communities in San Antonio for decades, distributing "bread" and clothing to the those in need. As time has passed our chosen system of distribution, direct mutual aid, has grown but so has the need of our neighbors living in the streets. The pandemic has greatly widened the inequity of our community and in the past 2 years our lead advocate, Susana Mendez Segura, has begun to publicly make a "call to action" by documenting the works of our family and friends and the suffering of the most neglected among us.
We ask that you take action yourself, through your works, through your giving, to join the fight against systemic injustice and inequity, to destroy the system that has pushed so many to dire straits, a system that has pushed so many to the streets and rebuild our communities in a way that makes "nuestra comunidad" a better place for all.
Our family Segura has been been involved in direct aid to those in need of food and clothing for over 30 years and our recently passed father, Adolfo Sr., gave to all for over half a century. His spirit of generosity and caring lives on through our own works and through those in our comunidad who treat the lowliest and neediest of us as equals. It is our whole hearted belief that we are all brothers and sisters, and like a family, we can all solve our collective social problems united as one. We hope through your support to continue on for another 50 years and beyond.
NEEDED SUPPLIES TO HELP OUR NEIGHBORS
The summer heat is brutal this year and it is an immediate danger to our houseless neighbors. Currently we are in desperate need of coolers, monetary donations to buy water and ice to distribute. Head coverings and Umbrellas are also welcome as long as this heat is hanging over us.
To learn more about other immediate supply needs please read Susana's FACEBOOK feed.
