Prior to Covid, we were allowing women to come into our church sanctuary and sit together for a hot meal and/or get a few hours of respite from the streets. Currently, due to Covid, we don't allow the gathering of people inside the facility at this time. We now serve our clients in our gated 9th street parking lot where we distribute free lunch, an article of clothing and/or shoes, as well as hygiene items. They immediately leave the premises afterwards.
We need 1 to 3 volunteers to distribute bag lunches, hygiene products and an item of clothing to our most vulnerable population on Monday, Tuesday and/or Thursday for 2 hours. Even if you're only available for one of those days, that would be great! You would need to be vaccinated as well. If you're available, we would love to meet you!

Mission Statement
HELPING NEIGHBORS IN NEED
Description
Front Door Communities provides essential services to unhoused men and women in our community. We serve some of the most vulnerable, including seniors and vets, living in downtown San Jose. We believe in treating everyone with warmth and compassion.
Our lunch bag program serves clients three mornings a week. We offer breakfast burritos, along with a bag lunch, new socks, shaving kits, clothing, and other essential hygiene items. Clients receive these items at the front door and then move on from the premises.
Before the pandemic, we were also a drop-in center for unhoused women three afternoons a week. Our Lifted Spirits program offers women respite from the streets, and a quiet place to rest, enjoy a meal and use a computer. In addition, our signature boutique provides women with a choice of clothing, adding the normalcy of the shopping experience but at no cost. We modified our program this year so that we could provide some of our valued services to women in need while minimizing the risk of spreading the virus.
