Excess Produce in Your Garden?

Donate your excess vegetables to the Emergency Food Pantry. Please drop off your donation at Capuchin Community Services' House of Peace site during business hours, Monday through Friday, 8:30 AM to Noon, and 1:00 PM to 3:30 PM, using the food pantry door facing 18th Street (immediately next to the loading dock).

Ministry of Presence

We encourage volunteers to perform a Ministry of Presence: to sit with our guests, engage them in conversation, meet them on their terms, and share your experiences. That is the greatest gift one person can give to another: to be wholly present, to listen, to be attentive, to show care.
