Automated texting tool with these features?

An organization I volunteer with maintains a waiting list of people looking for a certain type of assistance. We would like to send weekly text messages to the people on the waiting list to inquire if they are still in need of assistance.
Ideally, we would find a tool that would allow us to input phone numbers, names, and standard text.
--The texts would go out on a regular schedule, and would include the first name of the recipient ("Hi John, this is [organization] checking to see if you still need help with [issue] and want to remain on our waiting list.").
--The person would respond to the text, and we would be notified that John Doe at [phone number] responded to our text.
I started googling for automated SMS services and quickly got overwhelmed with the options. It doesn't have to be free - we can pay a reasonable amount for a tool that does what we want. Do you know of anything that fits the bill?
