Since 1988 volunteers from all around San Antonio and Bexar County have gathered under the Houston Street Bridge each Sunday to serve a hot meal to those in need. The "Under the Bridge" project as it has come to be called was founded by Ellen Ott. Ellen has a career as a surgical nurse but has devoted herself to the homeless and needy in her spare time.
Many people appreciate the opportunity to serve those in need. Currently 8 churches and many other organizations rotate the duties throughout the year. Each is responsible for soliciting donations of food, enlisting volunteers to cook and serve.
Following is a list of those organizations and contact info:
