This Week’s Needs at the Food Closet: During the last two weeks your Food Closet donations have been grocery bag equivalents of food, 2 bags of needed supplies and $0 cash donations. The consistency of donations is up substantially these last few weeks post summer vacations and the start of school. It is wonderful to see the full baskets at pick up time – all three of them! As always thank you for your generous donations towards the care of our less fortunate neighbors.

Access is via the blue side door that opens onto Hamilton Street. Please call ahead – (650) 325-3663 to let them know you are coming. Please do not drop off food after hours – it brings up a variety of concerns as people often congregate unsafely after hours to go through the food.
