Report: More than 25,000 people have passed through McAllen immigration shelter
BY CBS 4 NEWS MONDAY, OCTOBER 12TH 2015
By Oct. 3, volunteers had helped 25,330 immigrants who passed through the shelter, including 5,187 who spent the night, according to the city records.
More than 25,000 people have passed through the immigration shelter at Sacred Heart Catholic Church, according to a report sent to the McAllen City Commission on Friday.
Catholic Charities of the Rio Grande Valley opened the shelter during June 2014, when immigrants from Central America started flooding across the Texas-Mexico border. Overwhelmed, the federal government started releasing women and children at the downtown McAllen bus station.
By Oct. 3, volunteers counted 25,330 immigrants who passed through the shelter, including 5,187 who spent the night, according to city records.
The number of people who sought shelter at Sacred Heart peaked in July 2014.
The number of people staying at Sacred Heart fluctuates.
