FOCUS North America Launches Wednesday Night Meals in San Diego
26/7/2010
When people think of Coronado and San Diego, they think of Sea World, the Hotel Del Coronado, and old town San Diego. They don’t know that there are thousands of people unable to find work living on the streets.
Sitting in the shadows of the Coronado Island Bridge, FOCUS San Diego launched its first meal July 14 serving the homeless in the down town San Diego area. Twenty-eight volunteers from six parishes that represented four different jurisdictions served 96 homeless.
FOCUS San Diego has an all-volunteer team that has partnered with a protestant mission called God’s Extended Hand. They have been serving meals six nights a week to those in need for over 80 years. God’s Extended Handserves meals six nights a week to those in need. FOCUS North America’s San Diego Center has partnered with them to cover the seventh night. Now no one who wants a meal will go hungry on Wednesday nights in San Diego.
FOCUS San Diego now has five partner churches and several individuals who are dedicated to helping fund projects for the needy in the area.
You can help too by donating online today to support the ministries of FOCUS NA.
Whether we are working with the hungry in San Diego or those in need throughout North America, your support makes a difference! Thank you.
