Description
A church in San Diego has opened its doors and is taking in migrants. Our Lady Guadalupe in Logan Heights held a special Thanksgiving dinner for the people staying there.
The church never planned to start a shelter. But in the fall, migrants started sleeping outside on the front steps. Leaders from the church soon decided to help. The church is sheltering more than 30 men in their community building. It was converted into a shelter space with blow-up mattresses two months ago.
Different groups of churchgoers have volunteered to cook dinners each night.
"I'm all about making people feel loved because at the end of the day we're all human and that's what makes me really happy," said Maribel Reyes, who helped during the Thanksgiving Dinner.
Our Lady of Guadalupe spread holiday cheer by sharing an American tradition.
"It's something I feel very passionate about to be able to give back to the community," said Gabriela.
