A beloved after-school program in San Antonio’s West Side is on the brink of closure due to a severe funding crisis. Harper’s Chapel Ministries, which serves over 150 kids weekly with tutoring, food, hygiene supplies, and emotional support, is struggling to keep its doors open. Since 2023, the ministry has expanded its teen services, but a mounting financial shortfall threatens to shutter operations—leaving vulnerable youth without critical support, academic help, or a safe haven. Leaders call themselves “second parents,” helping students stay on track for graduation and steer clear of gang life. With inconsistent funding forcing temporary shutdowns, the community is rallying to save this lifeline for the city’s most at-risk teens.
