Reach Out Food Pantry is an interfath and community-wide effort to meet the needs of our food insecure neighbors. We are a grateful partner of the Second Harvest Food Bank. Reach Out is located onsite at St. Catherine Catholic Church, in the building at the back of the property. It is open Monday through Friday from 1:00pm - 2:30pm.
FOOD DONATIONS
Donations are accepted at the Reach Out building (located behind the Church), Monday to Friday from 12:45pm to 2:30pm. Non-perishable items, garden produce, and refrigerated/freezer items are all welcome. If you'd like to receive a short monthly email about the current needs at Reach Out, send your contact info to Carol at 408-857-4516 or lillig.carol@gmail.com. We are currently soliciting for donations of non-perishable Thanksgiving and Christmas holiday food items. Email Carol for a shopping list!
MONETARY DONATIONS Donations to support the Reach Out Food Pantry are welcome, and allow us to purchase needed food items that are not in stock on our shelves. You can drop off a check at Reach Out when we are open (1-2:30pm Monday- Friday) or make a one-time or recurring donation on this parish website. Click the green GIVING tab, then Giving-Online, then choose Reach Out and click the blue "offer support" button.
TO VOLUNTEER We staff Reach Out with five volunteers every afternoon; you could work a once-a month shift, or once-a week shift, or just be available on our substiute list. There are also a couple of times each week when we could use some help in the mornings. TEXT (no phone calls) Ann Marie at 408-718-1564 or email her at annmariecica@yahoo.com to indicate your interest. Feel free to stop by Reach Out anytime we are open to talk with our volunteers onsite and see the wonderful things that happen everyday.
