One night, we talked with a Vietnam Vet who spoke English, Spanish and Navajo. Yet he was still going, still working. The SAMM Shelter is an overnight shelter for the homeless that depends on volunteers for its continued operation. Our program usually begins at 10 PM and lasts until 6 the next morning.
Volunteers work to ensure smooth operation of the shelter and the safety of the night's residents.
This program allows Trinity students to be involved in and observe a side of San Antonio that they would not normally see. Directions to SAMM Shelter. Pass Houston Street and turn right at Commerce. At Frio turn left and immediately turn into Shelter on your right. You'll pass through a gate and park where you can find parking.
