Welcome and thank you for your interest in the Society of St. Anon y Más. Our name translates literally as "immediate and more" and is a play on the anonymous aspect to the way we give. The term "Saints" is used only in a fun way and without any religious significance.
We are an anonymous gifting community of friends who hold to the spirit of giving back on a local level. We were started in 2004 by a small group of committed women (and now men, too!) who wanted to help meet immediate needs for people and families that might be struggling or in temporary crisis within our community of New Braunfels, Texas. We determine and find need by working together and receiving referrals from agencies as well as individuals that may stumble across someone in need.
We invite you and your friends to join us at one or all of our six potlucks a year. At these potlucks, we have an anonymous gifting bowl and accept only cash donations. Even though we accept only cash, our recipients only receive donations in the form of direct payment to a source such as New Braunfels Utilities, a dentist's or doctor's office, a prescription, HEB gift cards, a landlord, etc. We always have our books available and open for review at potlucks. We want you to be assured that 100% of your donation is going directly back into our community.
The six Core Saints, who host most of the pot lucks, have committed to giving a minimum of $50 at each potluck. We invite you to make a donation that you are comfortable with and know that every donation you make does make a difference by helping to keep people from "falling through the cracks" in our community. We can also be contacted for any additional donation you would like to make at any time.
In addition to the group in New Braunfels, Texas, there are groups in Chicago, Illinois, and Fayetteville, North Carolina. If you are interested in developing a Society "chapter" in your area with a listing on this website, please email as at contact@saintanonymas.org.
