Let's Serve Soup

Here is a great service opportunity - perfect for those of us who only have a couple hours at a time.
St. Vincent De Paul, the organization that hosts a Soup Kitchen in San Diego, would love for us to serve with them. We could serve Breakfast, Lunch, or Dinner, any day of the week. So, lets pick a date, and a time that works for us. We can have anywhere from 1-12 people at a time.

Breakfast: 6 am – 9 am
Lunch: 10:30 am – 1 pm
Dinner: 4 pm – 7 pm

Since we are focusing on the hygiene kits right now, let's think about a Saturday in April that works for us.

We're Off to a Smashing Start

After a fantastic first meeting , we decided to follow a format that promotes one service project every three months. (Quality over Quantity) Also, we will email/ publish a list of organizations with whom we can offer our services for a one-time project. Then, each person will pick a group from that list with whom she'd like to plan a one-time project, pick a month, and rally the troops. While this month's project is already underway, we will give plenty of notice as projects approach.

This month (ie. now), we are gathering hygiene products for San Pasqual Academy, the first residential education campus designed specifically for foster teens. We are partnering with the National Honor Society of Torrey Pines High School, and will finish with 150 bags of hygiene products (shampoo, conditioner, body wash, tooth paste, tooth brush, loofas, etc.) - items that most of us take for granted, but are not automatic for the students of San Pasqual Academy. Please bring the items you'd like to donate to the Del Mar Ward Building by March 22. We will gather to put the items in gift bags on March 31st. (Note: The student body at San Pasqual Academy is 35% caucasian, consider buying shampoo and conditioner, etc. for diverse hair types.)

Thank you in advance! Remember: Service cures a sad heart.
