This weekend the girls made tissue art, sundaes and played games to win Camp themed ducks. We did a bit of a pivot due to the rain, but the girls still really had a great time.

Laura volunteers with our Chicktime San Antonio Eastside Chapter!
Why I serve with Chicktime SA Eastside:
I serve with Chicktime SA Eastside for several reasons. When I was 16 years old, I became pregnant and was presented with a very big decision and I chose life. I was blessed to have a great support system and parenting classes to help prepare me for motherhood, but I realize not everyone has the same. I am now a grandmother of two adopted grandsons and I’m so grateful that their biological mother chose life.
My passion and gifts:
My passion for teaching brought me to a school nearby where I was able to connect with so many families in the Eastside neighborhood. I have been deeply invested in this area that I love for 12+ years. My passion for community service connected me with Chicktime. I am excited to use my gifts to help young pregnant mom’s connect with the Eastside Pregnancy Center and utilize the free resources they provide and get the support they need.
My hobbies and interest:
I love the Lord and I love my family. I believe we are called to be the hands and feet of Jesus, so I truly enjoy helping others out when I can. When I get free time, I love to explore National Parks. Roadtrips are my favorite.
June Update:
Our charity partner had an event on our Chicktime Friday so had to cancel our workshop. We will try again in July.

Our June workshop was a great day! Farrah DeLong Stohner blessed our girls at Meadowlands with an empowering mini workshop on cars. This is the second year she’s volunteered! The girls really appreciated learning about women in the automobile mechanic industry, changing a tire, oil, fluids and basic car safety! Gerardo Rubio was our ace in the hole surprise for the girls, and like last year, Mr. G 
did not disappoint! THANK YOU so much for giving your time and helping serve the girls.Today was very special! #710cap

Serving, sharing and encouraging through the gift of faith.

Tori volunteers with our Chicktime San Antonio, Chicktime SA Westside and Chicktime SA Central Chapters!
Why I Volunteer with Chicktime:
I do not know what a life without service is! My parents started me out young volunteering with my church and other places around town. When I was 12 years old my mother took me to my first Chicktime workshop and I was hooked! I realized then the impact of just showing up ! When I went away to college I missed Chicktime . It’s good to be back in San Antonio and volunteering and leading workshops again!
What are my passions/gifts:
I have a passion for making people feel connected and included! This is usually done with lots of laughter, listening , planning gatherings or outings !
What are my hobbies/interests:
I love to travel, karaoke, try out new restaurants or hot spots around town, play games ( cards, dominos, board games), go see musicals and play pickle ball!
Betty volunteers with our Chicktime San Antonio Chapter!
Why I Volunteer with Chicktime:
I feel uplifted and inspired by the girls at Boysville. Each girl has a unique personality and I love to be able to share time with them. They have so much potential and they deserve all the love we can give. I love volunteering as it is a way of giving back of some of the blessings God has given me.
What are my passions/gifts:
I feel my gift is to be a good listener and a humble loving person. I love to see the positive in every situation and not focus on the bad. I have much love to give and that doesn’t cost anything. Like hugs, time well spent with friends, family or anyone who needs it.
What are my hobbies/interests:
I am a workaholic, and I love my job! But on my free time, I enjoy time with family and friends. I like to workout. I like short time challenges that you can achieve and make you feel accomplished. I love simple things like a good chocolate, coffee, a good movie, a day at a park or a good night watching the stars
Shonya volunteers with our Chicktime Little Rock chapter!
Why I volunteer with Chicktime:
I said yes to leading this workshop because I believe movement helps us feel strong, confident, and worthy. Fitness has shown me the power of showing up for myself, and I want to pass that on every chance I get. I also love seeing Black women come together—not just to fellowship, but to uplift our communities.
My hobbies/interests:
Fitness is one of my favorite ways to take care of myself—it clears my mind and strengthens my body. I also find so much peace just sitting outside in my backyard, soaking in quiet moments. I enjoy singing, reading, and listening to music that feeds my spirit. I’m drawn to anything that brings balance, growth, and good energy. And I’m at my best when I’m around women who love, laugh, and uplift one another.
My passions /gifts:
Kimberle volunteers with our Chicktime Kansas City Chapter!
Why I Volunteer with Chicktime:
I grew up doing lots of community service and volunteering. As my kids grew up I was active in their schools, sports, and activities. Now that my children are grown I have the opportunity to volunteer again.
What are my passions/gifts:
My son struggled with emotional regulation and anger management. Searching for help and options I found a program through Cornerstones of Care. They provided in home counseling for my son and our family. At one point, he ended up in residential care there for four months. Chicktime KC working with the girls in Cornerstones of Care’s residential program seemed like a natural fit given my history with the organization. Working with girls is nice as I have two boys.
What are my hobbies/interests:
I like to travel, read and spend time with family and friends. As I was diagnosed with early onset Parkinson Disease I’ve also become more active in that community.
Kelly volunteers with our Chicktime San Antonio Chapter!
Why I volunteer with Chicktime:
I have felt called to serve nearly my entire life. As a kid my Mom would take me to a local nursing home and I would hang out with the residents there. I became a nurse to heed that same calling to help others. As a mom to three (now adult) children I have always tried to put forth a good, Christian example of caring for my fellow man without limitations.
What are my passions/gifts:
I LOVE children! I have been greatly blessed with many gifts. Empathy, faith, & an open heart as well as being a skilled nurse are done of my God given gifts. I have spent 37 of the last 40 years as a nurse caring for infants, children and their mothers in various settings and currently work as a study nurse to further medicine & medical devices for infants and children. I was always the one who volunteered at school for many different activities for all 3 of my kids’ classes. I also read to the 2nd grade classes at a Boerne grade school – they are so much fun!
What are my hobbies/interests:
Dogs(our, now old rescue, Whiskey in particular) travel, baking, cooking & spending quality time with my family and friends are a few of my favorite things! I love to see new places and things, especially historical &/or religious that bring me closer to God. Feeding people is also a favorite thing/passion, it brings me so much joy to see someone enjoying something I’ve made for them! Although I seem to get there less often than I’d like, Chicktime is very special to me bringing me to such sweet girls and fellow volunteers.

What are my hobbies/interests:

Eva volunteers with our San Antonio, San Antonio Westside, and San Antonio Central chapters!
Why I Volunteer with Chicktime:
I serve because I believe every person deserves to feel seen, loved, and supported. Volunteering—especially through Chicktime—has been part of my life for as long as I can remember, and it’s shown me just how much of an impact kindness and compassion can have. Serving these girls brings me joy and reminds me that even the smallest acts of love can change someone’s life.
What are my passions/gifts:
I’m passionate about people! Whether it’s offering a listening ear, sharing a laugh, or encouraging someone who needs it, I love being a source of joy and support for others. I believe one of my God-given gifts is the ability to make others feel welcomed, valued, and cared for & I try to use it daily!
What are my hobbies/interests:
Making people feel seen is my favorite hobby— every smile is worth it. Whether it’s baking their favorite dessert, sending a thoughtful text, or simply being a listening ear – That is what really fills my cup! I also love spending time with family and friends, enjoying live music, or hanging out with my dog!

What a wonderful morning spent with the girls at Ozanam! Maria led a fantastic sewing workshop with three stations.
At the first station, each girl learned how to sew on a button and how to fix a tear in material by hand. Most picked up this skill quickly and enjoyed helping the younger girls master threading needles and tying knots.
At the second station, they learned how to run a sewing machine and made their own pillow cases! A couple of the girls were apprehensive at first but soon got the hang of it and beamed with pride at the result! One commented “I feel so accomplished!”
At the final station they learned how to draw and design an outfit and had the opportunity to use a mannequin to try laying on material to design a dress. We were so impressed with their design skills, we may have future fashion designers in our midst!
All of the girls were fully engaged in every station and they, along with our volunteers, took away valuable life skills!
If you’re interested in joining us in May, please reach out!

Our April workshop was fabulous. We decorated flower pots, planted flowers, and got our hands a little dirty-in the best way. We also had hot dogs and dirt sundaes (because what’s a garden day without a little fun?).
So many smiles, sweet moments, and beautiful flower pots to show for it. Grateful for this time together and the chance to remind these girls just how loved they are!
