Corazon Ministries

Corazon Ministries, Inc. is historically a leader.
Corazón Ministries (DBA Corazón San Antonio) has been proud to serve those in need in the San Antonio community since 1999, when a group of individuals from Travis Park United Methodist Church began providing meals on Sunday mornings to anyone who was hungry. The group soon realized that most people lining up for breakfast were unhoused, living on the streets in the adjacent park. Within months these dedicated volunteers were serving 75-80 meals every Sunday. The leadership of the church began listening and responding to additional needs; by 2004 Corazón was established as an independent 501(c)(3) dedicated to serving hundreds of San Antonio’s most vulnerable residents each year with a wide array of services.

Aggressive advocacy by CMI and others inspired city leaders to build Haven for Hope, which opened in 2010. We know one organization cannot do this work alone, and we are glad to continue to serve in the heart of downtown San Antonio. With unconditional love and justice, we provide programs that develop mind, body, spirit, creativity, and community. We provide hot meals, access to primary health care, dermatology services, clothing, personal hygiene products, warm showers, ID Recovery and creative art activities. Community is offered and shared four times a week with group discussions.

During the 2020 Covid-19 Pandemic we revamped our program to better serve our clients in downtown San Antonio.  In partnership with the City of San Antonio, we helped launch the Resource Hub program to help serve meals, provide street outreach, and daily respite. Since the start of the program we have served 80,000 meals, offered showers, medical care and ID recovery to 1000s, and helped find 100’s of our clients temporary or permanent housing.

Please join us for one of our many activities and be a part of our community. All are welcome!
