Overwhelming turnout for special food distribution reflects increased food insecurity
​By Nina D, South Bay Food Pantry Volunteer. South Bay Food Pantry volunteers pursue multiple strategies to source free or highly discounted food and other basic necessities for South Bay residents and FUUSD church members who have been disproportionately impacted by Covid-19, inflation, and other economic and health-related hardships.  The generosity of our donors, partnerships with the San Diego Food Bank and Feeding San Diego, and retail food rescue from Con Pane, Barrons, Smart and Final and Food for Less enable us to provide food, diapers and period products to over 300 households each week. Read more.

About our Meeting House circulation system
We have been working to make assembling inside our Meeting House as safe and comfortable as possible for all attendees. Here are some details about our current ventilation system.  Green Rectangles - Incoming air ducts. Currently all air is pulled from the canyon outside pushed into the building through ducts at the front sides back and across the middle of the Meeting House. This air is under pressure and will take the easiest path to get out of the building. Read more.
