| About us | During a cold winter morning in 1981, the problems of the homeless were brought into stark perspective for the members of First Presbyterian Church in downtown San Antonio. A homeless man, frozen to death, was found on the church grounds. In response, volunteers started a ministry in the church gymnasium to shelter and care for the growing number of homeless individuals. By 1983 this program, having gained financial assistance of several downtown churches, was incorporated by 11 downtown congregations into San Antonio Metropolitan Ministry, Inc. (SAMMinistries). Today SAMMinistries has a staff of more than 80 and is supported by thousands of volunteers who help families and individuals throughout San Antonio on their path to self-sufficiency. |

Homeless reduces life expectancies significantly, with hygiene complicating many medical issues.
Hygiene supplies are one of the most requested items of those on living on the streets –learn more about our Street Outreach Needs at http://www.samm.org/streetoutreach/
Education is a key component to break the cycle of poverty & homelessness. Thanks to the Education Intervention Program at our Transitional Living & Learning Center, 100% of high school seniors graduated last year.
