To Members of San Antonio’s Jewish Community, As we begin the new year, one thing is certain and that’s uncertainty. No one knows what will happen with jobs, prices or many other things that we used to regard as stable and reliable. When paychecks are interrupted due to job loss or shutdowns, or when we face unbudgeted home or car repairs or medical bills, people often need a temporary financial helping hand. That’s where Hebrew Free Loan Association of San Antonio can help with no-interest, no-fee loans. We’ve been doing this since 1924, and the need in our community continues to grow. You can see details of this growth throughout this report. It's the responsibility of HFLA-SA’s leadership to grow the resources needed to meet this growing need. We will do this not only with fundraising efforts, such as our annual picnic with the JCC (slated for Sunday, May 17, 2026) and periodic appeals, but also by operating ethically, efficiently and confidentially to be worthy of our community’s support. There are still many in San Antonio’s Jewish community who don’t know HFLA-SA and what we do, so education will also be a focus. We hope to reach the point that when members of San Antonio’s Jewish community need financial help they will automatically think of HFLA and reach out to us. Your help in raising awareness of who we are and what we do will be key to people getting the financial helping hand they need. Tell your family; tell your friends. Thank you for your continued support and may we all have a healthy and meaningful year.
