St. Anthony's Padua Dining Room

We’re all in this together! Everyone can agree that 2020 has been a challenging year, with the negative impact of the global COVID-19 pandemic. This pandemic has most severely impacted vulnerable and marginalized people.... With the continued high cost of living on the Peninsula, coupled with increased unemployment, housing and food insecurity, this pandemic has intensified the hardships faced by so many individuals and families in our community. The current situation highlights the need for organizations like ours that serve the growing number of those in need while working with fewer volunteers due to social distancing considerations. We appreciate every organization and individual whose contributions support our work. Sequoia Healthcare District and Dignity Health Sequoia Hospital have provided us with a generous donation so we may continue to serve the community amidst these challenging times. #community, #Covid19 , #sequoiahealthcaredistrict, #dignityhealth, #community, #foodinsecurity, #essentialservices, #stayhealthy

Approximately a month into the Coronavirus pandemic, the dining room is serving carry-out lunches to the public while complying with safety and health restrictions.

Our volunteers ensure that the nutritious meals we serve each day are prepared with care and find their way to the people who need them most. #foodinsecurity #Covid19, #menlopark, #volunteerism, #nonprofit, #community, #bayarea, #soupkitchen, #essentialservices, #underprivileged, #stayhealthy, #sanmateocounty, #santaclaracounty

We continue to provide sustenance to those who have less. For now, we are distributing take-out bags of food to those who depend on our services.

Thank you to our wonderful volunteers - without them - we would not be able to provide healthy meals to so many who experience the pain of hunger in our community. #foodinsecurity, #menlopark, #volunteerism, #community
