The Council's primary mission is to promote and enhance the well-being of patients and contribute to their habilitation and recreational needs not provided for through state funding.

For over 57 years, the Volunteer Services Council (VSC) of the San Antonio State Hospital (SASH) has been improving the lives of patients at the San Antonio State Hospital and the staff who serve them. The funds we raise go toward providing the Hospital's patients necessities that make life more comfortable - funds for food while traveling home, bus tickets to search for a job, individual birthday and holiday gifts, special personal items like diabetic shoes, tickets to community activities and events and other items not funded by the State of Texas.
