We Are Blood and we've been providing and protecting the blood supply of Central Texas since 1951.

Nick Canedo is the vice president of community engagement at We Are Blood, where he is responsible for overseeing communications, marketing, and donor outreach for the Central Texas nonprofit. A native Texan and St. Edward’s University graduate, Nick has spent the past 13 years serving in various community relations roles at nonprofit organizations in New York City and Austin. Before joining We Are Blood, Nick earned a law degree and worked for St. Francis College and the Rainforest Alliance in New York City. Nick returned to Texas in 2016 to work for the state legislation focused Center for Public Policy Priorities. When not sharing the importance of blood donation with others, Nick enjoys spending time with his wife and nine-month-old daughter, visiting family in San Antonio, and making cooking barbecue in his backyard. 

At no cost to the family or facility, Swan Songs® organizes private concerts for those with a terminal illness or nearing the end of life.

El Buen Samaritano , .https://elbuen.org/    

Since its inception, El Buen has been at the forefront of responding to the many social-environmental factors leading to lack of access to health care, social services, education, and nutrition. Over time, El Buen has adapted to meet the community needs that come with population growth, immigration, and economic fluctuations.

This adaptation to change has led to our comprehensive strategy of becoming a “one stop shop” to address the needs of the Latino and Spanish-speaking community in Travis County and surrounding areas. Through our Family and Health Literacy programming, El Buen provides education (ESL, Digital Literacy, Adult Basic Education and High School Equivalency in Spanish), workforce development, child and adolescent development (parenting and school-readiness, after school tutoring, and summer camp), health literacy (access to health services, chronic disease management classes and screenings), a year-round, no-cost food pantry, and a community garden where clients can grow their own healthy food. These services are provided by bilingual bicultural staff that includes community health workers (CHWs), volunteers, and health and social services practitioners
