We're deeply grateful to the The Harvey E. Najim Charitable Foundation for recognizing San Antonio Youth Literacy as an April 2026 grant partner. Their generous support enables us to continue breaking down literacy barriers and opening doors of opportunity for young learners across San Antonio. Together, we're building the foundation for brighter futures. Thank you for believing in our mission. 💙

We love our partner school Hawthorne Academy, SAISD! 💙

They’re hosting a Donation Day at Shake Shack on Tuesday, February 10th. If you stop by and mention “Donation Day” or use promo code DONATE when you order, 25% of your meal will go back to support their students.

🗓 Tuesday, February 10
⏰ 10 AM – 11 PM
📍 Shake Shack at Brackenridge Park (3003 Broadway)

If you’re already planning to grab lunch or dinner that day, this is a super easy way to support a great school in our community!
