On Nov. 24, John Courage, City Councilman for District 9, will host the second annual Voluntary Weapons Xchange event at the Alamodome. This is an opportunity for San Antonio residents to take an active role in reducing gun violence in our community. This event isn’t just about turning in unwanted firearms; it’s about making homes and neighborhoods safer, fostering peace and building a stronger San Antonio together. To make it all possible, we need your support.

By contributing to the SWEET Fund (Safe Weapons Exchange & Education Transfer
Fund), you can help make a lasting impact within our community. Creating a Safer San Antonio Together City Council District 9, with support from local leaders and organizations, is committed to reducing gun violence and promoting a peaceful community.

The Voluntary Weapons Xchange gives residents a chance to remove firearms from their homes, reducing the risk of accidents, theft and misuse. Events like these have proven successful across the country in lessening the number of unregistered and unwanted guns on the streets, contributing to a safer community.

This year’s exchange is a true community effort. By donating to the SWEET Fund, you’re
directly contributing to the purchase of H-E-B gift cards and the safety and well-being of San Antonio’s residents. Each dollar goes toward ensuring the event reaches as many community members as possible.
