Alamito Foundation is a nonprofit organization  that exists to cultivate growth both in the youth of the Big Bend and in the Alamito Valley.

The Annon Snider Memorial Fund has been established to help children in faith, athletics and education in honor of our son Annon.

Annon was taken suddenly from us on January 2014. He was compassionate, smart, athletic, and a friend to all. His beautiful heart was empathetic to others and was always kind to everyone. He went to school at Sts. Peter and Paul and loved his school, teachers and had a deep love for God. His prayers always included his family, friends and people in need. That is who Annon was.

The Annon’s Angel fund was set up in his honor to support the teachers at Sts. Peter and Paul financially in the teacher’s yearly budget.

Every day in this country, 1,900 children become victims of abuse or neglect, and four of them will die. Every day. CASA of Central Texas advocates for abused and neglected children in the court system, in schools, and in the community by recruiting, training and supporting dedicated volunteers.

CASA of Central Texas was formed in 1985 by concerned community members and became affiliated with the national CASA model developed by a family court judge. We had 18 volunteers in our first year. We now have 240 volunteer advocates who serve more than 400 children each year.

However, more than 350 children in Caldwell, Comal, Guadalupe and Hays Counties still need a CASA. We believe that every child deserves a voice, 100%. CASA stays with children until they are out of foster care, placed in loving permanent homes. For many abused children, a CASA volunteer is the only constant adult presence in their lives. You can advance the cause of child welfare in Central Texas by volunteering or donating to CASA. Thank you for making a difference!

Working with both schools and our surrounding communities, Communities In Schools (CIS) South Central Texas does whatever it takes to help kids stay in school and succeed in life. Based directly inside schools throughout Comal, Guadalupe and Caldwell Counties, CIS South Central Texas connects students and their families to basic and critical educational and community-based resources, tailored to each student’s specific needs. In addition, CIS provides a mentoring program that pairs community volunteers with children in need of additional adult support and Project Success a program designed to remove barriers to college access and increase retention of CIS students while in college.

Operating in six school districts, CIS South Central Texas serves more than 30,000 students, alumni and their families every year. As the nation’s leading dropout prevention organization, Communities In Schools is the only one proven to both decrease dropout rates and increase graduation rates.

Our teens are drowning in stress, anxiety and depression.

SAVE A LIFE. Thankfully, there are highly trained people who do just that. Lifeguards watch and wait. They are always alert. They are constantly searching for someone who might be struggling. When they see someone in need, they throw everything aside and go to them, meeting them where they are, and bring them to safety. This is what the lifeguards who make up this fund – the patrons and non-profit organizations – do for a teen struggling with life’s challenges.
