SSWA is a service organization. This means that as an organization we are committed to serving others in and around our own community, and in other communities where there is need.
In previous years SSWA volunteered a great deal of time to El Caldito Soup Kitchen, an agency with the Community of Hope that feeds homeless and near-homeless individuals and families. We also participated in various other school and community service activities.
