Feed the Homeless

“And they are those who give food – in spite of their own need , to the needy, and the orphan, and the captive, [saying in their hearts], ‘We only feed you for the sake of God, and we desire nothing in return from you, not even a word of thanks.’’” (QUR’AN 76:8-9).

***********
Did you know that San Diego’s homeless population is the 4th largest in the US, after Seattle, Los Angeles, and New York City? According to the HUD, there are 8,742 homeless persons in San Diego.

MCC is trying to do its bit to help out the homeless by arranging a feed the homeless event every month. More than 150 ready-to-eat packages will be prepared in MCC kitchen. Then delivered to homeless individuals in Downtown.

How can you participate?
1] Donate money/food for this program. This is most needed to help us expand from our current impact of only 1 meal for 150 people once a month.
2] Help in preparing the food packets at our monthly event (second Sunday of the month, at MCC)
3] Help in transporting and distributing the food packets in downtown San Diego.
4] You are also welcome to ride along with our volunteers to help out and get a first hand experience with food distribution among the homeless. You will be dropped back at MCC.
5] By participating, you can also get community service credits.
