WANT TO HELP?

Monetary donations are the most useful. We use the money to purchase food at the Food Bank where we can get much more per dollar than you can at the grocery store. Send your check to: St. Mark’s Church, 580 Hilltop Dr. Chula Vista, CA 91910. Put “Project Hand” in the memo.

Food items are provided to hundreds of individuals each month.  We need support from individuals and churches in the area all year long, especially during these times of great unemployment. Thank you for your willingness to assist in helping local families. Your monetary donation goes to buy food from the food bank in San Diego and those food dollars buy a lot!

If you would like to donate food items, the following is a list of suggested items. Think nutritious-filling foods and meals when donating.
