For my birthday, it would mean a lot to me if you made a donation to a project started at my company to provide a hot meal, a clean mask and some bottled water to our homeless neighbours. For my birthday, my company and I will match all donations up to $10,000.

I work at a shut down catering company (due to COVID). We mainly focus on weddings and large social events and are based out of La Jolla and National City. We started in April donating weekly meals to unemployed hospitality workers. It felt great to help out those in need especially in our industry. Now we have pivoted and are preparing and delivering around 100 gourmet HOT meals with several face masks to the homeless in downtown SD weekly. We also say hello and have short conversations with them. (At a safe distance since most don’t have masks. They always ask us for masks. ) We distribute these 100 meals usually within 45 minutes just walking several blocks downtown. Our van follows us with the food. The need for more help/food to the homeless is severe.

We are thinking about expanding this and opening up the opportunity for our community members and neighbours to help by sponsoring meals. Sponsors are welcome to pick up the meals from our kitchen and distribute them on their own or we are happy to do it. We can make each meal for $2.50 in food and material costs. All Labor is donated as me and my team are all on unemployment. Please consider helping us with a weekly donation so we can increase our food delivery count each week. Praying for us all to get through this crises healthy and without hunger.

Update: Thank you for the overwhelming support! Every week we distributed over 400 meals, masks, and water bottles. We appreciate so much all the donations of money, masks and water bottles. We look forward to continuing our mission and helping those less fortunate. God Bless you all.
