SAN ANTONIO – Catholic Charities says the 500 migrant teens who arrived in the city on Monday are being welcomed by people who care in the San Antonio community.
“They’re bringing personalized gifts with notes that say, ‘We love you, and we’re praying for you, and we hope you’re well,’” said Tara Ford, spokeswoman for Catholic Charities.
AdShe said about 1,000 people already have offered to volunteer, but more are needed since more migrant arrivals are expected over the next several weeks.
“We’ll understand a little bit more over the next few days about what is needed,” Ford said.
“We’re very grateful to our community in San Antonio for stepping up and always serving with us,” Ford said.
