We are committed to alleviate hunger in our parish community by partnering with the hunger-relief, non-profit organization Feeding San Diego. This is in line with our overarching parish mission to love God and neighbor and to serve sacrificially with time, talent and treasure. We manage an efficient collection and distribution of healthy food items for our parish families.

One Saturday a month, the team comes together to care for our community in need.  Parishioners in every spectrum of life and economic status convene to volunteer and organize the items to be distributed.  We also recognize that their spirits also needs nourishing – a kind word of encouragement and fellowship with our brothers and sisters in Christ is at the core of our works of mercy for we are our brother’s keepers.  Volunteers are welcome to set up, distribute food, and offer a word of encouragement and friendship.

The current need is for back-up drivers to help during the week to pick up food from places such as Wal-Mart or Albertsons. This task involves using the parish van or truck.
