"The place (Austin Street Centre) has just touched my heart because the people are so patient and so helpful to broken human beings," says Hitzges. "It's a job I couldn't do, so I try to help any way I can."
The shelter, which exists strictly on contributions, not only gets homeless off the streets but then educates them, finds them jobs, housing and props them back on their feet.
"Everyone from Tom Hicks to Ross Perot Jr. realizes they're not just warehousing people down there," Hitzges says. "They're improving lives."
On September 8, 2010, from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m., Austin Street Centre is taking part in Get Up and Give! North Texas Giving Day. On September 8, every donation above $25 will be matched if you donate to us through the Donor Bridge an online resource to connect donors with nonprofit organizations like us.
Please visit the Donor Bridge between 7 a.m. and 7 p.m.,and click "Donate Now." Your donation will go a long way in helping us, plus every dollar given at any time during the day will receive a portion of $700,000+ in matching funds - making your dollars go further.
It doesn't matter when you give, just remember to get up and give - whether out of bed, from your desk, or off your couch, just give!
