Have you been active in a social justice movement on the local level, involved in addressing a local issue, or are you connected with one or more local nonprofits?

Our Director of Religious Education, Sierra-Marie Gerfao, would like to hear from you! She is seeking opportunities to learn more about what is happening in the communities of this region and to learn about how families can be involved in bettering the community.

Soup Kitchen Corner by Judy Lacker

On Saturday, June 4, some members of Soup Kitchen Team 4 will be returning to the Dorothy Day Soup Kitchen on Spring Street to help serve take-out meals that were cooked in volunteers’ homes as well as bagged sandwiches for lunches and breakfasts for Pacific House homeless shelter, also prepared in volunteers’ homes as well as through donations. Unfortunately, we are not yet able to serve the guests a meal inside because of the Covid pandemic.
You can also help feed our neighbors with a gift card in any amount from any local supermarket. In addition, you can still continue to make food donations to the Daily Bread Food Pantry (25 West Street – entrance off Terrace Place). Donations are accepted on Mondays between 11 am and 2 pm and on Fridays between 8:30am and 11:30am. Lynn Taborsak has also been scheduling the sandwich donations so we have just the right amount each day at Dorothy Day Soup Kitchen. If you are interested in making sandwiches, please email her at ddhhsandwiches@gmail.com. We can all be an important part of the fight to end hunger in our community!.
