SAN ANTONIO – Even as the snow fell and the temperatures dropped even lower, Valerie Salas was among a small army of outreach workers still out there trying to convince the homeless in San Antonio to seek shelter.
Rogers said of the 25 to 30 homeless people they spoke to, only about half agreed to come to Travis Park Church or other shelters.
Salas said it has been a community-wide effort, in coordination with the city of San Antonio, involving churches, nonprofits and others.
“Yet, everyone’s coming together to help.”AdEven as more frigid weather bears down on San Antonio, Salas said probably like many others, she’s exhausted, but remains determined to do what needs to be done.
“We’ve just been kind of hitting over and over and over again, just trying to get them out of this weather,” Salas said.
