By Cristian ArguetaSoto, Fort Worth Report November 24, 2021 Alan Saintville needed to get out and get some food and fresh air at the OpenDoor Church Homeless Outreach event, 1701 E. Lancaster Ave., on Nov. 24. "It's challenging in the shelter. You get a lot of people in there with mental health issues and stuff, and the process of getting your own place takes a while," Saintville said. "I've been staying in the shelter for too long, and I needed some fresh air." Saintville was born in Birmingham, Alabama, and now lives in Fort Worth. He has stayed in a homeless shelter on East Lancaster Avenue since June. He used to work in commercial janitorial services, both in Birmingham and Fort Worth, but is looking for work and a place to live through the shelter. He is taking it day by day. The outreach event, hosted by Burleson church OpenDoor, 301 S. Dobson St., fed over a 100 homeless people in Fort Worth. The church hosts a homeless outreach event every third Sunday of the month.
