Texas Southern's baseball team donated its time to the community Thursday and Friday to give back in a few different ways.

On Thursday, the Tigers visited Turning Point Center in Houston to move huge bricks in a lot that the shelter used to make room for more beds for the elderly.

Turning Point Center is an independent, non-profit organization that povides food, shelter and other rehabilitative services to meet the physical and emotional needs of a neglected segment of society, including underprivileged individuals 50 and older who are unable to provide safe and adequate living conditions for themselves. The goal of Turning Point is to utilize a variety of support services to return the homeless elderly to a productive society. Turning Point also provides homeless individuals and families with short-term emergency services and referrals to other agencies.

On Friday, the baseball team visited Covenant House Texas to make sandwiches and listen to stories from children who were left homeless.
