On Sunday, July 9, 2023, the Rotary Club of San Antonio Pearl handed out food, including plates of lasagna and salad, as well as essentials, such as feminine hygiene products and other toiletries. On San Antonio’s Near West Side, the lunch benefitted about 168 individuals in need (and 2 pets), and was coordinated by Under The Bridge, Inc., a local nonprofit that has served San Antonio’s most vulnerable populations a warm meal every Sunday since 1988.
With temperatures expected to reach 99°F, 320 bottles of water were distributed to help everyone beat the heat. These donations were made possible by local Masonic organizations, including the Alamo Commandery, Moussa Court Number 119, Rebecca Court No. 2/HOJ, whose members will be present alongside several volunteers from the San Antonio Northeast Rotary Club.
