Youth Services Funding
East San Antonio's Boys & Girls Club was facing a sudden shutdown, but a local councilman just stepped in with emergency funds to keep the doors open while they work on a permanent fix. This spot is a lifeline for local kids, so dodging this closure is a huge win for the neighborhood.
