Families with elementary age children have been unable to participate in receiving groceries due to supervising their child’s participation in zoom classes. We heard you and are changing our Wednesday hours to help you. If you are able to drive through in the morning hours, please continue to come on days with morning hours. These hours are for families with elementary age children. Please help keep the lines short.

San Lorenzo Family Help Center has created high school senior volunteer hours on Wednesday’s from 12:30-4. Beginning in October, we are asking a 4-week commitment to serve your community, distributing food to those in need through a drive through contactless food distribution. Contact us at [email protected]. Permission available for younger high school students with parent participation.

Thank you to the anonymous person who dropped off a few dozen N95 masks today to keep our volunteers healthy and safe. You are our hero.

The new San Lorenzo Grocery Outlet has demonstrated a heart for the community. Over the past few months they’ve dropped by and volunteered with our grocery distribution. Today they’ve brought 2 gift cards for two food pantry families. Thank you Vanna and Hangsa Prom.

We are so thankful for our community donors. TZ NA International Trade of Hayward has recently donated 2 large shipments of shelf stable yummy yogurt. I had volunteers try a sample and we all agree, this is a great addition to our food give away. If you are a client, look forward to getting a case at your next distribution visit.

Wednesday teams small or large knock it out of the park. Last week my small team of 5(lower picture) hit a home run serving about 90 families. Today my team had some special recruits join us and they served over 100 families without much sweat. You are all awesome and I wouldn’t and couldn’t care for our community without you.Every week they hit a home run and then head home! Pun intended. Thank you to Anne, Anna, Andy, Kristen, Kimmie, Jennifer, Jessica, Jean, Joelle, Many, Michael, Benjamin and Susan.
