#FoodisFreeBenicia
Have some extra food from your last shopping trip or your garden (like lemons)? Need something extra to get through the week? St. Paul’s is helping to host a free food stand on First Street with #FoodisFreeBenicia.
People can take and leave food as they need, and the table is visited regularly by volunteers who straighten up and restock. The next time you’re downtown for takeout, visit the table in the city park in front of the church.
News about Kids’ Vacation Academy (KVA) and Sierra Service Project (SSP)
We’re sad to announce that St. Paul’s has cancelled our popular summer KVA program, and our local youth will not attend their planned SSP week. However, team leaders are looking for creative alternatives to keep our kids and youth busy during the summer. Stay tuned!
