Description
With the help of 7 full-time and two part time staff members and 300 volu nteers, CAM assists 120 homeless and low-income families each day with food, clothing, some financial aid, counseling, budget training, and referrals to other agencies. Over 48,500 individuals were assisted in 2003! Hours of operation are Monday through Friday 9 a.m. to 4 p.m.
In February 2002, CAM started a new program targeted at the unemployable homeless who habitually wander the streets in the daytime because they have nowhere else to go. The CAM Day Center is the first of its kind in San Antonio. Thanks to a facility provided by San Antonio First Baptist Church, CAM is able to offer shelter from the weather, laundry and shower facilities, a library, TV with VCR, as well as a central location for representatives from area agencies to meet with clients. An average of 55 guests visit the center on a daily basis. Thirty volunteers are needed each week to check in clients and serve as floor hosts. The day center is open Monday through Friday from 9:30 a.m. to 4:00 p.m.
CAM opened a satellite on the grounds of University United Methodist Church in January 2002. With the help of 15 volunteers a week and a part-time social worker, CAM provides much of the same services as the 110 McCullough location – food, clothing, and some financial aid. Approximately 3,000 individuals were assisted in 2003. Hours of operation are Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.
