SAN ANTONIO -- When it comes to helping those in border facilities, there are some important things to know so that you can make the most of your donations.
When it comes to donating, San Antonio continually gives back.
"So our lobby has been full since the call went out at the end of March when we started seeing an influx of clients," said Lizzy Nemeth the Executive Director of the Guadalupe Community Center with Catholic Charities.
Important things to know:
- Donate through organizations such as Guadalupe Community Center with Catholic Charities, the Food Bank, Travis Park Church to ensure they go to the right place
- Donate money online and from there they can buy the items people need
- Official organizations can better ensure items are the right quantity
- Timing of donations can also be better determined by organizations
"It's important because I feel good and I teach my kids and they feel good too and they need to share the things that they have," said Cecilia Zapata, donator.
