An update from Casa San Miguel Food Pantry
Our Food Pantry is a place where faith in humanity is quietly restored, week after week. Among our clients is the older gentleman who arrives at 3 am and crochets patiently until the pantry opens at 8, and the couple who cheerfully described their hour-and-a-half wait as a "date night": a rare chance to talk without the demands of jobs and kids pulling them apart. One visitor left with his groceries, only to be spotted across the street sharing them with strangers at a bus bench. Our volunteers are equally remarkable: thanks to Victoria, staff can now greet our hearing-impaired regulars in sign language, and can't wait to learn a new phrase each month to show them they're seen and valued. This is the quiet power of the Pantry ministry, and it's what brings us back. If you'd like to be part of it, we'd love your help on Monday and Tuesday mornings. (and yes, peanut butter and canned goods are always welcome.)
