Our Mission

Southside Community Center meets the needs of individuals and families of Hays County by helping them find resources for proper medical care, food, and shelter.

Our Purpose

Southside empowers families and individuals to meet their essential needs.  It helps with resources, offers a safe environment during temporary crises, and coordinates services for more effective use of resources, regardless of age, background, capabilities, or beliefs.  Southside also works to increase the community’s awareness and understanding of the needs of low-income neighbors.
