‘People come in with frostbite’ | Nonprofits working to help homeless population during freeze [Video]

SAN ANTONIO — Communities Under the Bridge in San Antonio is making sure our unsheltered neighbors have a warm place to stay during the arctic blast.

Kacey Knight is on the board and is a volunteer.

“We love serving our unsheltered friends in the street,” she said. “We are solely there for them, and their support.”

She said Communities Under the Bridge opened its overnight shelter on Sunday and is nearly at capacity.
