SBCOC in need of your
Food Donations
Currently our center is out of cereals which are typically given out to all our clients. We have been running short on food overall and the food banks list of available food to order has dwindled making it increasingly difficult to keep stocked.
If there is anything that the center needs most at this time, its food. Keep the center in mind when you are out and about shopping this week.
PAST EVENTS
Expanded Food Distribution Services
To Every 30 Days
Due to the generosity of our donors, food recovery partners, and the Central California Food Bank, the St. Brigid Community Outreach Center has been blessed with enough food to expand our food distribution services to clients from once every 60 days to once every 30 days (maximum of once each calendar month).
With this change we will be able to serve twice as many clients each month with meat, produce, bread, and miscellaneous other staples along with the regular food bags we have always provided.
Thanks to all those who have supported us!
