SERVING THOSE IN NEED FROM OUR COMMUNITY
SVDP UPDATE 2020
This year our conference has made Covid-19 pandemic adjustments. Implementing a “Drive Thru” procedure we maintained our monthly food distribution and have provided over 15,000 pounds of food to over 300 families. Our home visitation policy was modified to include telephone conferencing and some socially distanced home/street visits. In this fashion we visited/helped 36 families with Housing, EBMUD, PGE, and other assistance. Our conference membership and leadership remain strong, diverse, dedicated, engaged, and spiritually active. We continue to work for and maintain the trust, support, and backing, of our Divine Mercy Parish and Fr Matthew Murray. Our parish continues to be supportive.
