(San Antonio, Texas May 25, 2016) -- Seton Home has been awarded a $2,500 grant from the Security Service Federal Credit Union Charitable Foundation. The funds will be used to help provide Seton Home residents with basic needs including baby formula, diapers, wipes, shoes, coats, school uniforms and several other necessities.
"We are pleased to be able to play a role in Seton Homes mission to provide a safe and caring environment for at-risk pregnant and parenting mothers and their children," said Stephen Schott, senior vice president of finance and accounting for Security Service and board member for Seton Home. "Our hope is that this donation will positively impact the on-site child development center which will allow these teen mothers to continue their education and become better providers for their current and future children."

"Security Service Federal Credit Union has long supported Seton Home.� We are truly grateful for their kindness and compassion towards our mission.� From volunteering at our galas to decorating our Santas Workshop at Christmas, Security Service is always there to lend their support.� This generous gift will truly help us where we need it most, in basic everyday needs," said Tiffany Walker, executive director of Seton Home. "It is only through the partnerships with organizations such as Security Service and their Charitable Foundation that we are able to continue our mission."
