Bring Food or a Gift for Our Unhoused Neighbors
This year, we are partnering with Bay Area Rescue Mission to bring food, cloths, and unwrapped holiday gifts to people in need. They are an outstanding organization they have been helping homeless people in the Bay Area for 60 years. Each month they provide over 130,000 nourishing meals, and over 6,500 nights of safe shelter. Please consider bringing a non-perishable food item, unwrapped gift, and/or gently used blankets and coats for our Bay Food and Gift Drive to benefit the Bay Area Rescue Mission. You can also drop off your donations prior to the Holiday Party. Learn more about drop off times, our Fund Drive, and the Bay Area Rescue Mission at bayarearescue.org.
