House of Neighborly Service (HNS) has been providing social services to the children, families and seniors of San Antonio’s Westside for over 100 years. HNS’s mission is to provide opportunities which encourage, educate and empower our Westside community. We realize this through four primary program areas:

• Family Support: HNS prevents child abuse and neglect and helps families prepare their children for school through our Early Intervention Program. This involves parenting education, developmental and mental health evaluations, individual service planning and implementation, and respite care.
• Child Development: Our Kid’s Place Child Development and Treatment Center improves the social-emotional development of children enrolled in its multi-age classes while also addressing physical and intellectual development.
• Senior Health: We provide the seniors of our community with nutritional meals and meaningful activities to promote their physical and mental health.
• Food Security: Our food distribution program provides weekly boxes of fresh produce and other healthy food items.

These programs provide vital services that meet identified needs throughout the lifespan.
