Ronald McDonald House Charities of San Antonio and Jewish Family Service (JFS) of San Antonio each received $100,000 grants through the Operation Renovation project overseen by the Spurs Give and local financial services company Frost. 

The recipients will use the money to fund renovations need due to damage from 2021's Winter Storm Uri, according to officials with Spurs Give, the nonprofit arm of Spurs Sports & Entertainment.

Ronald McDonald House Charities will repair eight family rooms and two playrooms in its Sid Katz House location, which has been closed due since flood damage from the storm.
