Founded in 190, PCHAS is a non-profit organziation which was created to respond to the crisis of orphaned children due to the tuberculosis epidemic. PCHAS began serving the San Antonio community in 1976 with a home for orphaned boys. Our programs have evolved and changed over the years to better serve the needs of children today, but our mission remains the same.
Mission: We provide Christ-centered care and support to children and families in need.
Vision: PCHAS believes the most powerful way to help children is by strengthening their families. We accomplish this by living into our phiilosophy of care which is family-centered, strength focused and goal driven.
We strive to strenthen San Antonio families so that children will have permanent homes and families will find self-sufficiency. Our local programs aer aimed at preventing children from entering the foster care system and nurturing safe, loving homes where San Antonio Families can thrive.
