Haven For Hope
How can you help?
Schedule a Haven for Hope presentation at your club. Contact the Rotary office at 222-8242, x100 or director@rotarysa.org
What is Haven for Hope?
Haven for Hope will be an innovative facility that will provide a wide range of social services to meet the needs of San Antonio’s homeless community in a “one-stop” setting. Far beyond shelter, food and clothing, Haven for Hope’s services will be geared to combat the root causes of homelessness, with dozens of partner agencies providing the services.
How is Rotary involved?
The goal for District 5840 is to support Haven for Hope through a collective effort within the Rotary family and enhance Rotary awareness in the community by raising $1.25M over three years.

What's different about this project?
We send our dollars and support around the world to people in great need. Now we can send our dollars and support to people who are really hurting right here in our own backyard.
Working together, we can make a significant difference. Each of our clubs can set a specific goal and make scheduled deposits in our District HFH account.
Our Presentation Committee is doing its best to inform you and your members on how important this project is and what we can do to help people who are in desperate need of assistance. They will leave you a Letter of Intent so you can set your club's goal of support.
Your donation set aside every day works out to be a very small and palatable amount that adds up quickly when combined with the 2800 other members in our District. If each of our members donates, then we can say, "41 cents a day, takes the hurt away"
Our District Committee, comprised of volunteers from clubs throughout Southwest Texas, eagerly awaits your pledge of support for this worthy cause.
We know you will be very proud of what our District clubs can do in an all out collective effort.
Together, we CAN make a difference!
