SAN ANTONIO – May 10th - May 14th is National Salvation Army Week. And all week long we’ve been sharing just a handful of the many success stories that come from the nonprofit in our community.
Ernestia Barrera has been taking her son Gabriel to the Salvation Army run Peacock Boys & Girls Club since he was just seven years old. He’s now a 15, and a high school student, and he’s been going to the club almost every day for it’s after school program.
