This Week’s Needs at the Food Closet: Last week St. Mark’s donated 5 bags of groceries, 0 bags of supplies and $0 in cash to the downtown Streets Food Closet at All Saints Church. The donations of last week are back up to a great level and greatly appreciated. All the needed items requested for the week were well represented in the many bags of groceries. Words are not sufficient in expressing the gratitude owed to St. Mark’s lovely donors, but thank you, as always.
Drop off donations at the Food Closet. The Diocese allows food pantries to remain open during Covid. All Saints Food Closet is taking precautions to protect staff, volunteers, customers and donors using a protocol from Second Harvest, the main Food Closet donor. The address and new hours are:
425 Hamilton Avenue, Palo Alto
-M, T, W, F: 9 am-2:30 pm
-Thursday: 9 am to 2:30 pm
(except 12 pm to 1 pm when closed for staff meeting)
.
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.
