Community Outreach
Thrift House
 The Thrift House of Assistance League of San Antonio is operated to provide a major portion of our funds for philanthropic programs. Staffed by members who very generously volunteer thousands of hours each year, the Thrift House is stocked with donated clothing, furniture, books, magazines, jewelry, kitchen and house ware items, art work and holiday decorations.
