CORPUS CHRISTI, Texas â Marilena Garza is originally from Beeville, but currently lives in Corpus Christi. As a resident of the city, she sees first-hand how homelessness affects people in the area. In November, she started volunteering with âTacos not Bombs,â when she noticed many people she was helping did not have shoes.
âPeople were showing up in socks, or with bags wrapped around their feet, and it bothered me a lot,â she said.
