Protecting the San Antonio River. Together.

Thousands of volunteers. Hundreds of cleanups. A cleaner San Antonio River Basin for everyone.

Every Cleanup Makes a Difference

Since our founding, River Aid San Antonio has worked alongside thousands of volunteers and community partners to restore and protect the San Antonio River Basin. Every bag of litter collected, every invasive species removed, and every volunteer hour contributes to a healthier environment for future generations.

Why It Matters

Healthy Rivers Create Healthy Communities

The San Antonio River is more than a waterway–it supports wildlife, provides recreation, strengthens our local economy, and connects communities across South Texas. Protecting it requires collaboration, education, and action.

Voices From The River

Why People Get Involved

I love working with RASA. Their enthusiasm and ability to get a project finished expediently and expertly is so refreshing. All of San Antonio benefits greatly from their volunteer activities, so consider supporting and joining them for their next event.

Debbie Reid

Technical Director, Greater Edwards Aquifer Alliance

We really need folks to think about the mission of Basura Bash every single day of the year. Once we do that, hopefully we can take pride in all of our creek-ways.

Mayor Ron Nirenberg

City of San Antonio

If River Aid San Antonio didn’t already exist - my wife and I would start the mission ourselves.

What River Aid San Antonio is doing through their volunteers is bringing a tremendous amount of awareness to this issue - We now have guardians of our river in San Antonio.
