St. Elizabeth Ann Seton, Los Osos (SEAS) has made it our mission to help the poor, serving a noontime hot meal at the SLO Prado Day Center homeless shelter via the People's Kitchen. For decades this has taken place the first Monday of every other (even) month (Feb., Apr., Jun., Aug., Oct. Dec.). To make this meal possible, we place sign-up tables outside the church the week prior. Parishioners volunteer to bring food donations to the church kitchen at the following week's Mass.
As you can imagine in these tough economic times, the need for these services has only grown, and through the generosity of its parishioners SEAS has been able to further fill the shelter's growing need by taking on the third Monday of the odd months. Rather than food donations, this meal is made possible through monetary donations earmarked for People's Kitchen and sent to the office or dropped in the Sunday collection. St. Elizabeth needs volunteers to support the People's Kitchen, whether it be preparing, or serving food, or providing cash donations. If you can help, please contact Sharon Kroll at 528-3249 or [email protected]. Check the Sunday Bulletin for dates and reminders! |
