Change for Change
Downtown stakeholders partner to refurbish old parking meters to collect spare change to help city's homeless and Haven for Hope
This past month, the City of San Antonio, Downtown Alliance, Centro San Antonio and other key downtown partners including the Tourism Council, San Antonio Hotel and Lodging Association, and Paseo del Rio introduced over twenty re-purposed parking meters back to the streets of downtown, this time to collect spare change to make a change in helping the homeless through Haven for Hope. The meters include the logo, mission statement, website, and colors of non-profit Haven for Hope, a multi-service facility near downtown focused on transforming the lives of homeless men, women and children in the San Antonio/Bexar County area by addressing the root causes of homelessness. The meters are intended to deter panhandling by giving visitors and locals a safe and legitimate alternative to donating their spare change to help homelessness.
A press conference was held in August and received coverage from the following media outlets:
Univision
WOAI TV
KABB
La Prensa
WOAI AM
