| 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. |

How do we know how many homeless people there are & their needs? The Point in Time Count is a physical survey of the homeless.
Due to COVID, PIT was cancelled this year. @SARAHomeless & the SADHS teamed up so you can help by texting "SAGIVES" to 41444.
