Feed the hungry.

Written By Encounter C

St. Joseph Catholic Church: On the fourth Saturday of the month we gather to prepare and serve a special cooked meal for persons who are hungry with no place to call home. We also provide necessities such as clothing, toiletries, and other miscellaneous items. Fr. Victor Perez gives a blessing and recites the Gospel for the day and gives a short homily. We welcome monetary donations, food donations based on the menu for the month, and other miscellaneous items. You can sign up by going to Flocknote and registering for Joseph’s Table.

Missionaries of Charity in East Downtown: Contact the email listed for more information on how to serve with them.

Catholic Charities food distributions: Catholic Charities need volunteers to assist with bagging and distributing food to families in need at their regional food pantries. Please use the links below to sign up for a shift:

Loaves and Fishes: Soup kitchen within the Magnificat Houses, Inc. non-profit organization which provides opportunities to prepare and serve meals for homeless. In serving the meals, you have the opportunity to minister and speak with the homeless. They are open 8:30 am to 12 pm, Tuesdays through Saturdays. Groups can call in advance to find a Saturday to cook, serve meals, and speak with homeless men and women in the area.
