MEET OUR STAFF
What's Happening
Temple feeds 400 families a week at our food pantry, Wednesday afternoons 4-6:30 PM.
We receive our food from the San Francisco Food Pantry 2-3 in the afternoon and our wonderful volunteers prepare it to be picked up safely by our patrons. We wear gloves, masks, maintain safe spacing, wash our hands and everything else often!
If you are hungry or know of someone who is, please send them to 65 Beverly Street on Wednesday afternoon and we will see to it that they get food.
We are all in this together. No one needs to be hungry in San Francisco.
We Need Volunteers!
If you are under 60, have your own safe mask, and would like to volunteer we would love a little extra help! Many of our regular volunteers are over 60 and have been asked to stay home.
Easter Series
Heart of the Matter
Day by day, as they spent much time together in the temple, they broke bread at home and ate their food with glad and generous hearts, praising God and having
the goodwill of all the people. And day by day the Lord added to their number... - Acts 2
The life and death of Jesus had one strong message that was both overt and inherent: love one another. The heart of the matter was love. Time and again we hear Jesus offer the disciples a post-resurrection message of empowerment to give to the world
what he had given to them. This Easter Season we will encourage one another to truly live out the heart of the matter.
