Local Ministries Outreach at SFC

Community Care

Food for Working Poor Families - Many "working poor" households have had their work hours reduced in the local economy. Next Sunday, we will be collecting groceries between 8:30 AM and noon. Look for the truck near the sidewalk in the Upper Parking Lot. Friends Together will arrange the deliveries to families. A list of items most useful and welcome is available in any church office and the Narthex. Add this kindness to your regular shopping. Buy an extra bag for a needy family when you shop. If you would rather make a donation, Friends Together will do the shopping.

Downtown Ministry

This team serves the street people of San Jose.  Participants have taken to heart Jesus' words, "I was hungry and you gave me something to eat."
